Gorgeous range of wines by Lost Blues.

Lost Blues

July 6, 2022

One of the really exciting projects in Paso Robles, Lost Blues is a tribute to the old times in this region where things moved very slowly. At a mere 19 years of age, Gio Grandinetti worked a harvest at Meridian Vineyards and he found his calling in wine. It wasn’t until 2012 when he started his own label, Lost Blues, and priced the wines at only $42.00.

This is now the third time I have tried these beautiful wines and I have been remarkably impressed with the consistency of both white and red bottlings. They are very well-priced wines for what you get at fifty dollars and less. Look to the beautiful 2020 Lost Blues ‘Luckpenny’ Malvasia Bianca (OB, 93) which is fresh and vibrant with serious flavor range. Even better is the sultry and sexy 2018 Lost Blues ‘High Horse’ Grenache (OB, 94) which shows a gorgeous purity of fruit at its core. Learn more about this fantastic boutique house at http://www.lostblues.us/shop and here are the new release wines by Lost Blues.

2020 Lost Blues ‘Luckpenny’ Malvasia Bianca- The really good 2020 Lost Blues ‘Luckpenny’ Malvasia Bianca is a fantastic new effort by vintner Giovanni Grandinetti. Orange blossom, white peach and shades of cardamom dusted biscotti all come together on the nose. The palate is very fresh and vibrant with a soft texture. Gorgeous to consume now, this will cellar well for another five plus years. Drink 2022-2028- 93

2018 Lost Blues ‘High Horse’ Grenache- The 2018 ‘High Horse’ is a gorgeous expression of Grenache. Pretty red rose petals, orange rind and shades of guava puree on the nose. The palate is soft and inviting with a seamless texture. The purity of fruit at play is outstanding. Rich red fruits parade with tar and garrigue notes on the palate. This is a knockout bottling that is best consumed young. Drink 2022-2030- 94

2018 Lost Blues ‘Good Fences’ Red Wine- The 2018 ‘Good Fences’ combines mostly Syrah (69%) with the remainder Grenache. Super inky once on the glass, this reveals smoked brisket, creosote, and rich dark currant tones on the nose. The palate comes off very herbal with hedonistic dark and blue fruit flavors that are held together with the great underlying tension. Drink 2022-2030- 94
