• About Linne Calodo:

A quote about 2021 Linne Calodo Cherry Red “Elmer and Mary Cherry planted their tiny head-trained, dry-farmed Zinfandel vineyard in 1977. I began farming and making wine from this vineyard on a handshake basis starting in 1998. The slopes are steep and tricky; the yields are ridiculously low; and the fruit is loaded with classic Paso Robles character.

Working with the Cherry family for all of these years has been one of my greatest privileges as a winemaker.” 

• Tasting Notes:

True to its name with bright cherry aromas accented by suggestions of pomegranate, sandalwood, anise and wild savory notes. Supple red and blue fruit flavors reveal hints of cola and white pepper spices. The finish is firm and electric with juicy acidity, sleek textures and persistent length.

• About the Winery:

When Matt and Maureen Trevisan started Linne Calodo in 1998, they further helped spark the modern wine era in Paso Robles. By the early 2000s, Paso Robles had graduated from unproven to unstoppable, furthermore driven largely by Rhône variety blends that earned widespread critical acclaim. Linne Calodo was right in the mix, and the rest is history.

This thirst for the unconventional lives on at Linne Calodo. The common thread among all of their wines can however sum up in one word: intentional. Matt is the polar opposite of the absentee winery owner. He is the farmer, winemaker, cover crop sower, fix-it man, amateur electrician and sheep herder.
