Clos Solene
Guillaume Fabre finds time away from his day job at L'Aventure to farm small pieces of property (he tends all of the rows himself) of prime real estate on the west side of Paso Robles that produce the fruit for his slowly growing personal project, named after his wife Solene. He also buys fruit from Saxum's James Berry vineyard, and from the Booker and Russell Family vineyards, which in 2012 he blended with his own viognier that was grown in a tightly spaced (3 feet by 3 feet) plot and yielded barely one pound of fruit per vine. Fabre cites John Kongsgaard's epic VioRous as the inspiration for the wine, by the way. As for Fabre's reds, they unsurprisingly share plenty in common with the Stephan Asseo's L'Aventure wines: they're deeply flavored, powerful and structured to age but with a distinct opulence as well. He isn't shy about laying lots of new oak on his red wines (100% for the 2010s) and thinks that the depth of fruit that's attainable here is more than capable of handling it.
