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.
