Not far from the Hearst Castle off of Hwy 101 sits the wine town of Paso Robles. With over 200 wineries, here are some of my favorite picks.
Found in the western part of Paso Robles, Adelaida Cellars Inc spans across the 145 acres that includes five distinctly specialty vineyards that has consistently been a favorite wine places in California. With the help of the amazing climate provided by the Pacific Ocean, slopes and chalk rock limestones, Adelaida has progressed amazingly. In 2010, it has receive acclaim for its use of sustainable energy and resources in wine production.
Leading the pack is the Hoffman Mountain Ranch. Among the wineries in Paso Robles, this one has specialized in Burgundian varieties. Starting their operations in 1964, it uses its own locally grown wine grapes in producing the best Pinot Noir in the area. Even though their supply is not that much compared to the others, each sip is packed full of smooth and vibrant flavors.
Names after Elizabeth Van Steenwyk's grandmother, Anna's Estate Vineyard produces a unique spin on their wine varietal that have people coming back for more. It depends on clone and rootstock to develop this distinct flavor in their wines. Each and every wine blend, most especially their Syrah, possess this earthy flavor tinged with milk chocolate taste. Due to this, Anna's Estate Vineyard has experienced success in tasting rooms.
The only one that does dry farming in Adelaida Cellars Inc. is Michael's Estate Vineyards. It takes advantage of its inimitable extracts and incorporates it into making their wines. Surrounded by sloping terrains, it is able to grow wine grapes and turn it into fine-tasting wine. They are specially known for their Zinfadels and has continuously been a favorite among wine lovers.
Viking Estate Vineyard has a collection of high-quality wine blends produced right at their backyard. It is relatively young as it just started its winemaking operations in 2007. Situated on the edges of a ravine, it may pose difficulties to them in terms of growing their grapes. However, Viking Estate Wineyard has managed to be on the top in producing Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Syrah.
Specializing in single-grape wine varietals, Bobcat Crossing Estate Vineyard is worth a visit. They are distinguished for their refined and smooth wines, most especially Touriga Nacional, Tinto Cao and Souzoa, and Muscat Blanc. It is amazing how their use of sandy loam soil has caused abundant growth of Portuguese crops. This method has injected a fruity and acidic flavor to their wines, most especially Touriga Nacional, that pegged them as one of the most unique wineries in the area. Propelled by Don Van Steenwyk, Bobcat Crossing Estate Vineyard is now highly regarded in the wine industry.
