L’Aventure Winery, founded by Stephan Asseo, is renowned for its bold, Rhône-inspired blends that push the boundaries of Paso Robles winemaking. The region’s warm days, cool nights, and limestone-rich soils provide the perfect environment for producing powerful yet balanced wines. Optimus is a signature blend that reflects the winery’s dedication to crafting wines with both structure and finesse.

TASTING NOTES: This Syrah-driven blend bursts with dark blackberry, blueberry, and cassis, layered with notes of graphite, pepper, and toasted oak. Rich tannins and vibrant acidity create a long, opulent finish, making this a standout expression of Paso Robles terroir.
