Rich blueberry, blackberry, violet, stewed meat. Unapologetically opulent yet showing a certain restraint and balance almost uncharacteristic of the region. Paso Robles and Rhone mesh here into one of the best wines we've ever experienced from Paso. Bravo to the 2015 Hommage a Nos Pairs Reserve by Clos Solène. Composed of 95% Syrah with some Grenache and Viognier cofermented in.

Winemaker Guillaume Fabre comes from a family of winemakers in the south of France. He moved his talents to California in pursuit of his own dream winery, and Clos Solène was the result. Rhone roots shine through with a California twist, resulting in a portfolio of wines that would make any winemaker envious. Clos Solène make some seriously good wine - absolutely put them on the top of your list when visiting Paso Robles.
