Unbridled

2008 Paso Robles Zinfandel

The Wild Horse Unbridled Zinfandel from the 2008 vintage showcases the distinct characteristics of the Paso Robles region, known for its warm days and cool nights that allow the grapes to develop rich flavors. This red wine presents a medium-bodied profile with a lively acidity that balances the intense fruitiness. With prominent notes of ripe blackberries and hints of pepper, the fruit intensity is vibrant, making every sip a delightful experience. The tannins are well-integrated, offering a subtle firmness without overpowering the palate. As a dry wine, it finishes elegantly, leaving a lasting impression that invites the drinker for another taste. This Zinfandel is a testament to the craftsmanship of Paso Robles winemakers and captures the essence of its sun-kissed terroir.

Region:


Paso Robles

California's fastest-growing wine region is quickly gaining an international reputation for its innovative and boundary-breaking wines. Located halfway between LA and San Francisco, the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County has two main zones. The eastern side has a hot and sunny climate with deep, rich soils producing plush, fruity wines with sweet ripe flavors. To the west, the cooling influence of the Pacific brings a zingy backbone to rich Zinfandel and Rhône favorites like Syrah and Viognier. Italian varietals like Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are also favorites of Paso Robles grape growers and wine drinkers.
