2007 Derby Wine Estates Implico (USA, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles) | Wine Spectator Forums

90 points: Strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, earth, cocoa and leather. Big tannins but they do not affect drinkability. Fruit is a little jammy but the wine is not over the top. Good acid.

I accidentally opened this instead of their syrah/grenache/mourvedre blend and had I not looked at the label again that is what I would think I was drinking. Bordeaux blend that taste like a Paso-Rhone to me.

A SD Wine Co. purchase? Is this from the vineyard that sources fruit for Justin's Isosceles? I remember them using that in marketing one of the Derby Bordeaux blends earlier ths year.

That is the one. I think you would like this, Whine-oh. More cab-like on the second day also. SDWC has some great Paso buys.

I know, tempting... Cellar is already heavy in this region..

Missed u Friday at SD's CDP..

Look for Java's notes soon..
