Tasting Notes: Keeping it simple and letting his estate fruit speak is what Vic Roberts does best. From Templeton Gap, Paso Robles. Classic 88/12 blend of cab and merlot, aged 24 months in French and Hungarian oak. Very approachable, with great structure. Plum, cherries, cinnamon and dark chocolate notes. Roughly 500 cases produced.

Wine Rating System

Our reviewers are given a topic (varietal, drinking occasion, price) six times a year and asked to select 3-5 wines that fit that criteria for review. Wine reviews include brief tasting notes, a rating and the wine’s retail price (which can vary from store to store and market to market). Unless noted otherwise, the price reflects a 750-ml. bottle. If you’re a beverage professional with a specialty in wine and you’re interested in participating in the panel, please contact managing editor Kyle Swartz at kswartz@epgmediallc.com or 203-855-8499 x2225.
