Winemaker Notes
The beautiful dark ruby color gives evidence of a dense yet lively wine. The nose is an intriguing blend of tart bing cherry and rich boysenberry pie aromas. The mouth feel continues this trend of opposites with wonderful acid balancing full-bodied flavors of blackberry, licorice, and pepper. The finish is rich yet clean, offering a hint of American oak vanilla.
Pair with salmon, Chilean sea bass, pork or chicken.

A powerhouse of a red, the full-bodied, 2014 Twisted Paso by Calcareous Winery Zinfandel brings a ton of berries to the fore, and its combined with a note of earth pairs it well with grilled steak kebobs. (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.
