The 2007 Paso Robles harvest season was one of the best of this decade. It was a unique year for winegrape growing, with low yields, great concentration with ripe flavors, good acidity, and flavorful fruit. The grapes for this Syrée were selected from two highly regarded vineyards: Syrah from Ryan Road and Petite Sirah from Creston Valley, both in southeastern Paso Robles.

This Suendero is a Meritage bottling of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. The name Suendero signifies “The Dream Path,” celebrating the wine’s origins amid the magical terrain of Adelaida Springs Ranch in the rugged coastal mountains west of Paso Robles. At an elevation of 1,700 feet and just 12 miles from the Pacific Ocean, the ranch’s small vineyard is planted in calcareous soils, the result of ancient sea beds. These hillside soils, combined with reliable marine breezes, enable Vina Robles to craft a nuanced wine that mirrors the evenness and elegance of a modern style blend.
