2010 Harmonie

Moving to the 2010s, which as a group are more voluptuous and decadent than the 2011s, the 2010 Harmonie is a blend of 73% Grenache (harvested in November), 20% Mourvedre and 7% Syrah that spent 20 months in 75% new French oak. All about sweet, voluptuous fruit, with perfumed raspberry, flowers and hints of licorice, it is medium to full-bodied, seamless and elegant, with bright acidity. Upfront and hard to resist, it should drink nicely for 4-5 years. Drink now-2018. Another up-and-coming Paso Robles estate, these knockout wines are made by Guillaume Favre. They’re not cheap, but they certainly deliver on the quality front. Tel. (805) 296-0478; www.clossolene.com
