“13th & Third Wines are made by the talented Don Burns. His NMR blend is one of the finest GSM blends coming out of Paso.” – Jeb Dunnuck

YESSS! We have a DOOZY from Paso today!

An under the radar winery you probably haven’t heard of - yet. 13th & Third that is, and NRM is their smokin’ 94 POINTER red Rhône blend we have today. For a ripping good price, mind you. Just barely enough for an offer (don’t worry though, we “might” have another vintage lined up when it sells out, hint hint.)

If you love Turtle Rock, Saxum, Linne Calodo, Villa Creek, Booker, etc., etc. then this is right in your wheelhouse. That is to say, it’s a DEEPLY concentrated GSM blend – big, round, and mouthcoating with opulent fruit, spice, oak, and more.

It all makes sense because the winemaker - yea the same guy who owns and makes Turtle Rock. For those of you who are not familiar, Turtle Rock quickly skyrocketed into 100-pointers “cult” status in recent years with a growing waiting list… while Jeb Dunnuck reports that “it may be too late to get on the mailing list, but Don Burns’ Turtle Rock is unquestionably one of California’s new superstars.”

Guess what? Burns helps make 100-pointers at Saxum too. He also makes 13th & Third, and that’s IT.

What Vinous says: “Given Burns’ lineage it will come as no surprise that his wines are extroverted and fruit-driven, with serious depth…” And this big, brooding, juicy red sucks you in like a Cocomelon episode. I’m helpless! Give me a sippy cup of this at the park, the movies, the ballgame, for breakfast - doesn’t matter - and send my taste buds into hyperstimulation mode. Drowning in cherry cordial, strawberry reduction, and red/black licorice all twisted together and melted down. There’s a hefty dose of oak, but it doesn’t feel heavy or out of wack. Don’t even try taking the bottle away unless you want a full-blown meltdown. Better buy enough to share, because you will want to hoard it for yourself.

No wonder it’s “spiked” with G2 fruit, THE source that gets the 100-pointers for Saxum and Turtle Rock.

As we hinted before - not much of this one - claim your share before it’s gone!

94 Points – Jeb Dunnuck

“Coming from westside Paso Robles fruit, these wines are made by the talented Don Burns, who’s behind the Turtle Rock wines. A blend of 50% Grenache, 26% Syrah, and 24% Mourvèdre, the 2016 NMR reveals a deep purple color as well as a gorgeous bouquet of blackberries, tapenade, lavender, gamey meats, and salty minerality. It’s rounded, supple, and sexy on the palate, with a great texture.”
