Where it comes from
Paso Robles, United States
Paso Robles — Also on California's Central Coast but well inland, Paso Robles is a warm, sprawling region known for generous, sun-filled reds and a pioneering streak with Rhône grape varieties.
Grenache
Grenache is a red grape that originated in the Aragón region of Spain, where it is called Garnacha, and it is widely grown across the Mediterranean.
Syrah
Syrah is a red grape from the Northern Rhône in France, responsible for some of the world's most dramatic, savoury reds.
Counoise
Counoise is a red grape of the southern Rhône in France, best known as a supporting player in blends such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape rather than as a solo star.
