The Wine Thread

I associate Paso Robles with Zinfandel and Petit Sirah, so when I see a new one I am not afraid to try it. Our Costco has a 2008 Zin from a Paso winery called Opolo named Summit Creek Zin. It is rich, fruity, velvety, and high in alcohol (16.4%) though you can't tell it from the taste. I expected it to be porty but it's not. A very good expression of a Paso Robles Zin for less than $20. I may go back and get a case.
