The 2010 Cherry Red comes across as sleek and polished. Juicy cherries, flowers, menthol, flowers and spices are some of the many nuances that caress the palate as this sleek, silky Zinfandel-based red opens up in the glass. Here the Zinfandel influence is felt in the aromas and flavors, but there is little in the way of overt sweetness. High-toned floral notes add lift on the bright, inviting finish. This is another wine I find absolutely compelling and, most importantly, flat-out delicious. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. This set of wines from proprietor Matt Trevisan was among the most impressive I tasted in Paso Robles. The wines seem to have a bit more energy and focus than in the past. Native fermentations and a generally artisan, hand-made approach informs a style full of personality and character. Some of the wines are aged partly in American oak, which works beautifully for this fruit. Trevisan describes 2010 as a fairly regular October harvest. He adds that 2011 was a much later year, as 60% of the fruit came in during November. Tel (805) 227-0797, www.linnecalodo.com
