Purple Paradise

2010 Paso Robles Zinfandel, Zinf, Petite Sirah

Chronic Cellars Purple Paradise is a captivating red blend that showcases the vibrant spirit of Paso Robles. This 2010 vintage artfully combines Zinfandel, Zinf, and Petite Sirah to create a wine that is both bold and expressive. With a lush and full-bodied profile, it envelops the palate with ripe fruit flavors reminiscent of dark berries and plummy notes, complemented by subtle hints of spice. The acidity is bright and lively, enhancing the wine's refreshing character while maintaining a well-rounded balance. Tannins are notable yet smooth, providing structure without overwhelming the fruit. This friendly wine leans towards a dry finish, making it a fantastic companion for hearty dishes or simply enjoyed on its own.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
