2012 | Linne Calodo | Rising Tides Red

A zesty blend that builds in complexity. The cherry jam, roasted herb and pepper aromas lead to dense flavors of boysenberry, sage and loamy mineral. The tannins tighten the finish.

Reviews:

• Vinous: Dark red cherries, plums, sage, rosemary, mint, leather and tobacco meld together in the 2012 Rising Tides. The inclusion of 20% whole clusters adds attractive aromatic overtones This is another perfumed, expressive wine built more on delicacy than power.

• Wine Advocate: In the same ballpark, the 2012 Rising Tides checks in as a blend of 37% Grenache, 34% Syrah and 29% Mourvedre. Deeper and richer than the Sticks and Stones, it offers knockout cassis, blackberry, ground herbs, pepper and plenty of minerality in its sexy, full-bodied, seamless personality. There's enough mid-palate depth and fine tannin here to keep this drinking great for another 7-8 years, if not more.

Producer Information

Founded in 1998 by Matt and Maureen Trevisan, Linne Calodo's name pays homage to the rich soils in the esteemed Paso Robles Willow Creek District. The team grows grapes, makes wines and fosters an environment that shies away from traditional, rigid and archetypal industry norms. Studying biochemistry at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and working his way up at area wineries, Matt's winemaking style is a healthy balance of art and science. Linne Calodo produces seven to ten blends per year using a myriad of varietals: Rhone, Zinfandel, as well as other esoteric varietals from around the world. The Linne Calodo wines are driven by four factors: vineyard location, uncompromising viticultural practices, minimalist winemaking, and the desire to learn from experience. The vineyards are farmed sustainably and the crop loads reflect the natural balance of the vine. The Linne Calodo team believes in harvesting at the peak of ripeness to produce wines that are rich and concentrated in both flavor and texture. You are encouraged to visit!
