Matt Trevisan's "Sticks and Stones" is exactly what the name promises—raw, honest, no-apologies Paso Robles, built on 77% Grenache with Syrah and Mourvèdre weaving through. Aged 15 months in concrete and French oak, the 2020 delivers medium-bodied velvet with cranberry sauce, Earl Grey tea, and aniseed lifting the palate. This is one of Paso's most revered producers at work: low intervention, high soul, capturing West Side terroir without pretense.
