It is difficult to find where to start talking about this
winery. One of the oldest in the Paso Robles and the first to be awarded Robert
Parker points for their xx wine inx. Its much harder not to mention their
eclectic winemaker Christian Tietje a man who can accomplish everything. Led by
on passion for life, Christian is a surfer, punk rocker, metal artist, and
winemaker. He also makes big, bad-ass red wines for Cypher Winery in Paso
Robles California. His wines have a cult like following of their own with
outrageous art labels and names like Anarchy, Peasant and Heretic better known
as "The Freaks. “This Rotta project was for him an opportunity to."
let the creative juices flow. “He has worked the old vineyards into a new
sophisticated direction while respecting its fascinating past.
Tasting notes: Earthy, fruity and aromatic Cabernet Franc
with bright berry notes of
plum and peppercorn. There are hints of
violets and toasty oak influences. A full vulmptus body skillfully
balanced with bold, youthful tannin ending
in a long lingering. A wine set
to mature into elegance given a bit of time.
Pair it with Indian butter chicken without fear of spice!
This wine will have the right mix of acidity and body to match the flavor of
the dish.
