At Hunt Cellars, winemaker David Hunt, has an artistic side too. Alas, David lost his sight in 1989, so his expressions of art come in the form of his winemaking and his music. As a musician, he plays at his own winemaker dinners and indulges his passion for music by bestowing his wines with musical titles. Despite his blindness, David can still appreciate the beauty of Paso Robles. For him it comes through in the soil, the weather, the water and ultimately in the wines.
A truly special wine, the intoxicating nose is lush with ripe fruit aromas, including plums, currants, and cherry jam. Each sip delivers a lovely blend of dark plum, cassis, cherry, and strawberry jam. Elegant tannins make the wine velvety smooth, but it still has a very nice depth. Winemaker David Hunt deserves notice for this bottle.

An alumni of Sonoma State University, being in the heart of wine country only furthered the fascination and appreciation Jason had for the majestic drink. Now, as FBWorld.com’s wine editor, he hopes to convince people who claim to not like wine that they simply haven’t tried the right bottle yet. He also does not understand why more twenty-somethings don’t drink wine and wants to promote their appreciation for the stuff.
