He found it on the west side of Paso Robles — calcareous limestone soils, high elevation hillsides, and cold Pacific air funneling through the Templeton Gap. The combination reads southern Rhône but tastes purely Paso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCôte à Côte is his GSM statement: 37% Grenache, 32% Syrah, 31% Mourvèdre, aged 16 months across new French oak, once-used barrique, concrete, and amphora. The pluralistic élevage builds complexity without blurring the wine's cool-toned clarity. Five major critics clustered between 94 and 97 points — Jeb Dunnuck called it \"a killer bottle, concentrated and powerful yet weightless.\" Wine Advocate landed at 96+; Vinous at 95.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePAIRINGS :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eBraised lamb shoulder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eweight and structure match; herbs in the wine echo rosemary and garlic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eDuck confit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003edark fruit and earthy Mourvèdre complement the rich, fatty duck\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eGrilled ribeye with herbed butter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efull body and fine tannins stand up to the char and richness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"L'Aventure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62535208698015,"sku":"8215","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0232\/3203\/files\/IMG-0779.jpg?v=1763512309","url":"https:\/\/eastsidecellars.com\/products\/laventure-cote-a-cote-red-stephan-vineyards","provider":"Eastside Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
