Treana Winery ProfileTreana Wines Tasting Notes and Reviews
Their name symbolizes a "trinity of natural elements"—the sun, sea
and soil—which make for the prime grape growing conditions of the Central
Coast region. At Treana, located in the Paso Robles Appelation, this
trinity blends hot summer days, night ocean breezes and limestone soil
to produce a foundation for the winery's success: top-quality Rhône
and Bordeaux varietal grapes. The Treana team is well aware that great
fruit alone does not create great wine. That's why, at this family owned
winery, over twenty years of winemaking tradition combine with the expertise
of winemaker Chris Phelps, a graduate of the University of California
at Davis' enology program and a student of France's University of Bordeaux,
goes into every bottle. In addition to producing both red and white
table wines, the Hope family offers a line of wines available only at
their Paso Robles tasting room. Masters of hospitality, the family also
offers accommodation at their bed and breakfast, the Arbor Inn, located
on the vineyard property.

Tasting
Notes: Benefitting from the year's relatively short harvest in Paso Robles (as many varieties reached ripeness at the same time), this blend exhibits increased intensity and richer dark berry flavors. Composed of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Syrah, this red wine displays elegant tannins with structure and depth. A pleasing nose of fruit and spice are complemented by flavors of mocha, tobacco and toasty oak. It will age beautifully over the next decade. (Date tasted: 12/29/09)

Proprietary
Red Table Wine
Varietal/Style: Meritage
Origin: Paso Robles
Vintage: 1997
Winemaker: Chris Phelps
Rating: 13/20
Retail Price: $32 |
Tasting
Notes: Made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon,
Syrah, Merlot, Sangiovese and Petit Sirah, it is no surprise that this
1997 offers a gorgeous, deep purple hue. The spicy nose alludes to the
wine's blackberry and cassis flavors. A rich, full body gives way to
the long and complex finish with hints of coffee, cocoa and anise. We
feel this wine easily ranks among the top meritage blends coming from
the Central Coast. (Date tasted: 03/03/00)
