Kip Lorenzetti, Magistrate Winemaker thinks the Paso Robles Merlot is a very archetypal passover merlot, describing it as very fruit forward with a soft and opulent mouth feel. You will notice notes of plum, blackberries, as well as some nice cola spice and a touch of vanilla. This merlot is an everyday wine that you reach for when having pizza with some friends. Pairs well with aged gouda and asiago.

Kip Lorenzetti, Magistrate Winemaker talks about the Magistrate Family of wines who have garnered over 150 awards over their 15 years. Magistrate provides a wine that is unpretentious and elegant.  The hallmark of this brand is their Paso Robles AVA which is a very unique AVA in California with the largest diurnal temperature swing of any AVA. Days can get as hot as 110 degrees celsius and drop into the 40’s in the evening which really drives those fruit flavors and aromatics forward while at the same time developing very robust tannins. Magistrate conveys a level of opulence with wines showcasing what the region can do.
