Edward Sellers Vineyards (Paso Robles)

This weekend was a wine shipment "pick-up" day, so we decided to stop at a couple other wineries while we were out.

First Impressions:

They are located among some other wineries on highway 46 and were easy to find. The tasting room was big, and allows for a large number of people. There was only one other couple there, so we practically had the place to ourselves. The woman pouring was very nice, and gave a little bit of information about each wine as she poured. Overall, we really enjoyed their wine, and had an excellent experience.

These were the wines available for tasting:

2011 Le Passage
2011 Viognier
2011 Rose
2008 Mayhem (Red Blend)
2007 Cognito
2006 Vertigo
2009 Inception
2005 Cuvee des Cinq
2006 Syrah Selectionnee

Wines we tried:

2011 Le Passage ($35)
This was a delicious white wine. It had hints of citrus and minerals, and not very fruity.

2011 Viognier ($29)
I really enjoyed this wine. It was fruity and sweet, that reminded me of honeysuckle. An easy and refreshing wine.

2011 Rose ($18)
We are huge fans of these wines, so we just had to try it. One of the best local roses we have tried, and we purchased one to take home.

2008 Mayhem (Red Blend)   ($18.75)
This was a bold red wine, that would be good with a nice meal. Not one I would sip on it's own.

2007 Cognito  ($37)
I'm a sucker for wanting to try any 90 point or higher wine, and this one is a 90 (Robert Parker). It got a little lost, after trying the Mayhem blend, but I found it to be similar but less 'in your face'. I would pay extra and get the Syrah.

2006 Syrah Selectionnee  ($45)
It had a heftier price tag than I'm used to, but the wine did not let me down. A delicious syrah, classic.

Take Note:

Tasting is $10 per person, and waived with a purchase. You can choose any six wines to taste from their list.  They also allow two people to share one tasting. They have a wine club, that offers discounts. We ended up purchasing two bottles of the Rose, and one bottle of the Viognier.
