Pulchella Winery Catches the Attention of Wine Enthusiast Pulchella Winery

 The 90-plus ratings just keep rolling in for local favorite Pulchella winery.  Following several high ratings in America’s leading wine magazine, Pulchella’s most recent nod comes to the 2013 and 2014 vintages of The Awakening Tannat-Syrah blend from Paso’s Adelaida District with an impressive 93 points.
A fascinating, promising blend of 66% Tannat and 34% Syrah, the 2013 bottling begins with lavish aromas of blueberry, cola, milk chocolate and sweet tobacco on the rich, deep nose.  According to Wine Enthusiast: “It’s hard not to like once sipped, with lots of big, juicy black fruit but also an elegant tannic structure.  Flavors of vanilla, cocoa and roasted meat ensue.”
Recently, the Newhall-based tasting room’s 2013 Mercenary Reserve 25 Zinfandel was the top-rated Central Coast wine in Wine Enthusiast, coming in at 94 points.
“I review over 200 wines a month from all over the Central Coast,” said Wine Enthusiast Contributing Editor Matt Kettmann.  “Most of the wines I drink are in the 87-89 point range.  But when they start to creep into the 90s, that is an excellent wine.”
Though reserve wines are only available to wine club members, Pulchella strives to provide that next-level quality in each bottle – and Wine Enthusiast has recognized this effort, as well.  In recent issues, the wine magazine highlighted other Pulchella wines: 2013 Red, White & Blue Red (El Pomar District) 91 Points; and 2013 Henchman Tannat (Adelaida District) 91 Points.
In addition to having priority access to Pulchella’s best wines, wine club members enjoy heavy discounts, free wine tastings and service that feels like you’re part of the Pulchella family.  Allocations are completely customizable, as well.
In addition to the wine membership, Pulchella now serves up a new monthly offering: 10 percent off the Winemaker’s choice of one of Pulchella’s best drinking wines.  There’s no better time to stock up on the best of local wine than the holidays.  Stop by while there’s still more to pour!
