RIISE is the compelling Paso Robles collaboration between Juan Mercado—the visionary founder of Realm Cellars—and Anthony Yount, the celebrated winemaker at Denner Vineyards. Their "Peace" Red Blend captures the rugged, limestone-rich terroir of Paso’s West Side with a level of polish and precision rarely seen in the region. The 2022 vintage is a Syrah-led powerhouse that manages to marry immense concentration with a svelte, agile mouthfeel. On the nose, it offers an energetic bouquet of ripe blackberries, violets, and exotic spices, leading into a palate layered with dark fruit, savory espresso, and a signature mineral tension. This is a wine that perfectly embodies Juan’s flair for hedonistic profiles and Anthony’s renowned structural precision. With its svelte richness and fine-grained tannins, this release is an irresistible expression of modern Paso Robles that over-delivers.
