L'AVENTURE OPTIMUS, 2017
Availability:In stock
Vintage: 2017
Size: 750ml
Ratings: Robert Parker Wine Advocate 93, Jeb Dunnuck 94
Grape Blend: 49% Syrah, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot
Blended of 49% Syrah, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot, the deep ruby colored 2017 Optimus opens with aromas of fresh fruits—wild blackberries, crushed blueberries and sour cherries—along with loamy earth, touches of cured meats, saline and olives, very fresh and crunchy on the nose. Medium to full-bodied and silky, it has great intensity and interplay of red, black and blue fruits with spices and savory touches. It has a very classy frame of finely pixelated tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing long and lifted. This shows excellent restraint! It’s drinking beautifully now but will reward another 3-5 years in the cellar.

Description
Description
Arriving from Bordeaux in 1998, Stephan Asseo fell in love with the unique terroir of Paso Robles’ Westside. L'Aventure Estate is exceptional land that serves as the foundation for his artisan winemaking, blending French tradition with California terroir.
Optimus is the perfect introduction to our lineup. Also known as our “crazy” Paso blend, Optimus is beautifully balanced with a lot of freshness. This wine is approachable young but can be enjoyed for up to a decade.
