Here’s The Juice: Our Favorite Reds of the Moment by Mark Tarbell
Napa Valley is beloved and is producing the dominant wine style in America’s red wine, which has changed in nuanced ways over the past three decades. There are still many different approaches to crafting of style that ends up in the bottle. The center of everyone’s target is a dark, thick, deep red fruit-forward style with underlying soft tannin and structure. The Paso Robles wine region in Southern California has the ability to produce wines of many different styles and with an exciting variety of grapes. It also is an area that can achieve the same lushness and depth of the great Napa reds. It’s long been the one to watch in the California wine world. Napa, watch out!
