Hi Friends!
I was compelled to send you another reasonably-priced 100-point wine offer, since yesterday's Sassetti Brunello sold out in an hour.
We've always told you how special L'Aventure is for the past 13 years we've operated.
Congrats to Stephan Asseo for not only another pair of 100-point wines, but single-handedly carrying Paso Robles on his back onto the world stage fine wines. 👏
Thing is... he still only makes between a couple hundred, to 2,000 cases, at most.
*Thus, a note about the bottle limits: While I hate that we're allotted only 30 bottles of the 100pt Estate Cuvee—I must remain grateful for anything at all... Limiting is our effort to please as many clients as we're able.
The wine arrives tomorrow, Wednesday 4/6 but will all be pre-sold and commited. Move fast.
—James

2019 L'Aventure Estate "Optimus"
Willow Creek District, Paso Robles
96 Points - James Suckling:
"Extremely aromatic with ripe cherry and berry aromas, as well as flowers and citrus. Medium to full body with fine, polished tannins and a long, caressing finish. This is really well done and one of the most balanced L’Aventures I have encountered. Syrah, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot. Drinkable now, but better in two or three years." (8/23/2021)
94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"The 2019 Optimus should be snatched up by savvy readers. Based on 57% Syrah, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Petit Verdot, it just about jumps out of the glass with gorgeous cassis, floral, pepper, and graphite-like aromas and flavors. As seamless as they come, this full-bodied, elegant, pleasure-bent 2019 is going to evolve for a decade.
94 Points - Decanter:
"Lovely aromatic intensity, spicy and nuanced on the nose but incredibly well defined on the palate which is crisp and precise with flavours that glide across, so linear and straight. There’s a coolness to the fruit profile and a refreshing juiciness. Concentration and structure with good tannic grip - lots on offer here. A blend of 57% Syrah, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Petit Verdot. Wines are aged for 14 months in 89% new French oak and 11% one-year-old French oak with malolactic fermentation in barrel. No fining or filtering. (Drink between 2021-2030)" -GH (7/20/21)

2019 L'Aventure Estate Estate Cuvee
Willow Creek District, Paso Robles
100 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"Pure perfection from Paso Robles, the 2019 Estate Cuvee checks in as 50% Syrah, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Petit Verdot that was raised in 81% new French oak. Incredible cassis and black berry fruits as well as violets, chocolate, graphite, and who knows what else emerges from the glass, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a concentrated yet weightless mouthfeel, building tannins, and a great finish. It’s more seamless and approachable than the more backward, structured 2018 and will have two decades of prime drinking."
97 Points - James Suckling:
"Blackcurrants, crushed stone and lavender with some rosemary. Full-bodied, yet it spirals deep and true on the palate, with creamy tannins and a dark, brooding finish. Provocative on the palate. Asphalt and spice notes. 50% syrah, 35% cabernet sauvignon and 15% petit verdot. Drinkable now or try after 2025, but you should really give this at least another five years in the bottle." (3/31/22)
-30 bottles land 4/6
-Limit: 6 bottles max per person
