Tasting notes
A blend of 88% Syrah and 12% Mourvèdre, the 2017 Honey Bunny has a deep ruby-purple color and explosive aromas of cassis and blackberry jam, bitter chocolate, crushed mint, olive, chargrill and violet. The palate is lush and satiny, layered and broody, with incredible lift and loads of spices and savory accents on the finish.

More Syrah-dominated, the 2017 Honey Bunny includes 22% Grenache and saw the standard 18 months in French oak. A cellar selection, it offers more black and blue fruits, ground pepper, bouquet garni, and hints of olives to go with a plush, super sexy, full-bodied style on the palate. With no hard edges, ripe tannins, and an already approachable style, drink this hedonistic bomb over the coming 7-8 years. Readers who like classic, full-bodied, impeccably made Paso Robles blends (count me in) need to check out the wines from Connor and Rebecca McMahon’s FullDraw Vineyard. Pulling all from their estate vineyard located just beside Eric Jensen's Booker Vineyard, on the westside of Paso Robles, the wines pack plenty of fruit and opulence, yet they’re beautifully balanced and always a joy to drink. This is another up and coming estate (it was created in 2012) readers need to have on their radar.
