Dry and earthy, with the textbook edgy tannin of Tempranillo, the 2010 Sympatico, a blend of 75% Tempranillo, 13% Syrah and 12% Grenache, delivers a spicy, mineral-laced bouquet of dried cherries, dusty earth, licorice and graphite. This is followed up by a chewy, savory wine that has good concentration, a medium to full-bodied, balanced feel and excellent length on the finish. Still tight and slightly closed, it will benefit from another handful of years in the cellar and have upwards of a decade of more of total longevity. Drink now-2020. Run/owned by entrepreneur Carl Bowker, this up-and-coming Paso Robles estate needs to be on everyone’s radar. The wines are distinctly Paso and have fabulous concentration and richness, while staying beautifully drinkable. Tel. (805) 237-1480; www.calizawinery.com
