2011 Opolo Vineyards Fusion, Paso Robles

Paso Robles is a large winegrowing area at the southern end of California’s Central Coast region. At 666,500 acres (270,000ha) the official Paso Robles AVA is among California’s very largest; it effectively covers the northern half of San Luis Obispo County.

Viticulture here dates back to the late 18th Century, when the first wine grapes (most likely of the Mission variety) were planted by Spanish missionaries. The first commercial winery was established in 1882, incorporating the region’s earliest Zinfandel vines.
