L’Aventure is a winery I’ve long been curious about—I was delighted to learn that it was one of our stops on a recent media trip to Paso Robles. And now, I understand all the fanfare. These wines all have a shimmering mineral thread running through them, like a silken cord, even in their heavier reds. The estates deep calcareous soils have something to do with it, but the winemaker has deft hand, too. The 2016 Rosé is fresh and diaphanous with a length suspends itself over the tongue—red berries, melon, petrichor.
