Another video from our 2009 season. I interview Jacob Raines the winemaker of Dubost Ranch, a 6 acre family owned vineyard located within a 320 acre farm in California’s central coast wine region of Paso Robles. I was impressed by the 2005 Gran Reserva a blend of 50% Tempranillo from Silleto vineyards in San Benito county and 50% Grenache from the Starr Ranch in Adelaida. Fermented and aged separately for two years (the Tempranillo in new French oak and the Grenache in neutral hogshead barrels), the two wines were blended and aged in neutral hogshead barrels an additional year to “marry” and then bottle aged one year prior to release. This ruby red effort’s bright aromas of red cherries and black plums leads to a hedonistic attack on the palate of red berries, chocolate, cedar and leather. The bright tannins lifts up the complex flavors for a nice long finish. A great Spanish themed gem from an emerging young winemaker. 100 cases produced, $32 Retail. POW 92.

Thanks so much for putting us on your website. Jacob did great – but I AM his mom – we are very proud of him and his wine.
The Gran Reserva was not released until October ’09, with our wine club, so true to its designation it was in bottle a year prior to release. We brought it to Family Winemakers for a “sneak preview”. Showing beautifully now it has become the current tasting room favorite.
Come to Paaso Robles and visit our straw bale winery!
