text: "Coming up over the grade with the whole valley opening out beneath you, decked in green late evening and honest to God rainbows, you've got the windows down in the aged blue Mercedes headed to shoot clays at your friend's vineyard: it's hard to hate nights like this. Blueberries and shotgun shells, Bailey's steeped coffee, charred cherries, crushed velvet, smoldering oak, mahogany dashboard, distant kerosene lamps, new lilacs and the thought of someday maybe getting a Chris-Craft." —winemaker
  "A year in, year out killer wine, the 2014 Syrah Nuts and Bolts is another stunner that gives up ripe, full throttle notes of blackberries, peppered meats, game and singed leather. Big, rich, gorgeously textured and hedonistic, yet also balanced, pure and fresh, it's a quintessential Paso Robles red that delivers the goods. Drink it anytime over the coming 5-8 years." —Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate
