Winemaker Notes
The three varietals combine to create an extremely dark purple wine with a nose filled with plum, black cherry and pepper. The brighter Zinfandel fruit fills the upfront flavor while the ample blackberry, cocoa and earth of the Syrah and Cabernet take over the mid-palate. The young chalky tannins of the finish indicate a wine of more sophistication and age worthiness than the name would lead you to believe.
Pair with barbequed brisket or tri-tip.
Blend: 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Syrah, 20% Zinfandel

Showing power and grace, the nifty 2014 Twisted Paso by Calcareous Winery Main Squeeze—a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Zinfandel—displays loads of black fruit aroma and flavors that are tempered with a streak of chalkiness. Pair it with flavorful stews. (Tasted: April 5, 2017, San Francisco, CA)
Father and daughter Lloyd Messer and Dana Brown realized their dream of finding a place to express their passion for wine in 2000, when they established Calcareous Vineyards on one of the highest limestone plateaus on Paso Robles’ westside. Both Lloyd and Dana, experienced wine distributors in their native Iowa, recognized the westside of Paso Robles had potential to produce world class wines. Their acquisition of 442 acres atop solid calcareous rock reaching 1,800 feet above sea level confirmed their dedication to producing the highest quality, terroir driven wines possible. It is a labor of love to cultivate fruit on this challenging land, but the reward is immediately apparent when tasting the wines. Calcareous has for over a decade now, produced a collection of world–class blends and varietal wines that exhibit Paso Robles’ claim to being "distinct, different." Lloyd passed on in 2006, and Dana advances their vision.
