2015 'The Other One' Mourvèdre

Appellation: Adelaida District AVA of Paso Robles

By: Paix Sur Terre

In: Paso Robles, CA

Winestyr Review

This is a tiny production, single-vineyard wine made of 100% Mourvèdre from the esteemed Glenrose Vineyard in Paso Robles' Adelaida District AVA. Almost black in color, this wine is deep, dark, and rich with lush black fruit flavors, cocoa, cracked black pepper, leather, and spice. Somewhat surprisingly, this bold wine never hits any overripe flavors and that's a testament to the deft winemaking hand of Ryan Pease. This is a great wine to open with other wine enthusiasts as it represents some of the cutting edge winemaking going on in Southern California. 94pts and Editor's Choice from Wine Enthusiast.

Experience

Paix Sur Terre was created in 2010 by Ryan and Nicole Pease with the goal of producing a portfolio of mineral driven single vineyard Mourvedres along with small lots of Grenache, Syrah and Mediterranean style whites. Grapes are sourced from three stunning vineyards on the west side of Paso Robles; Glenrose, Alta Colina and Kiler Grove. The fruit is always picked keeping freshness in mind to express a balance of mouthwatering, savory, and mineral qualities.

Winery

Paix Sur Terre, French for "Peace on Earth," is the name Ryan and Nicole Pease chose for their winery which they started in 2010. They focus on balanced, mineral-driven wines made in small lots with fruit from some of California's best vineyards. They've developed quite a penchant for making some of the best Mourvedre, Grenache, Syrah, and mediterranean-style whites coming out of California today and have garnered some serious critical acclaim for their efforts.
