My Favorite Neighbor

Denner Vineyard is a name that always rings bells in Paso Robles. Ron Denner came here in the late 1990s and planted what would become one of the region’s most respected sites—and also a longtime contributor to My Favorite Neighbor. The 2023 vintage presents a peak expression of Denner Vineyard. The nose is hedonistic with scents of olallieberry pie, black currant, cassis, leather and hints of cacao. Exquisitely integrated tannins lead the wine to a round, plush and enduring finish.

Pairing: Grilled ribeye steak smothered in blackberry sauce or try wild mushroom risotto for a savory vegetarian match
