Reviews
Andy and Cairjn was recommended by another winery and is a must stop. The wines are amazing and his knowledge of the industry and the area is incredible. We left with the Grenache and the intention of returning every time we’re in Paso Robles
Had a great tasting experience at Cairjn Wines. Each wine on the list was a hit, with my personal favorite being the Syrah, and the overall flow of the tasting was very well balanced. Hillary, who led the tasting, is fantastic at explaining the character of each wine and the unique Central Coast influences behind each.
Go to Cairjn: the new gem of Paso Robles. The winery is in the Paso Ghetto: the outside ain't pretty, but the inside delights.Remember the secret to Paso Robles is its exceptional soil, but its day temperatures are high, which in general, makes growing Cabernet Sauvignon grapes unwise. However a few North-facing vineyards on the Westside deliver small lots of incredible Cabenet Sauvignon fruit and Cairjn's winemaker Andy absolutely knows how to blend it with Syrah and Grenache. He ranks with the best winemakers in Paso. His competition would include Benom and sixmilebridge. Taste his Grenache and Syrah's also. You will leave the winery wondering: "Who else knows about this place? Should I tell others or keep it a secret for myself? It is small."Your experience matters also. While going to the winery is underwhelming, once you enter, you will understand how its understated elegant interior accents the wine. It's lime washed walls calmly force you to concentrate on the wine. Hillary, the tasting room manager, answers your questions directly with warm honesty. Andy hires talented, intelligent people. You will leave realizing an older definition of sophistication - quality matters.Cairjn will become one of your set places to visit in Paso Robles.
Andy has done an EXCEPTIONAL job making his wine. The tastings experience is very personal and informative. This wine is some of the best I ever had anywhere in California - Napa, Sonoma, Central Coast.I love his Albariño and Syrah!
An amazing experience that truly embodies the Paso Robles spirit of crafting wines from Mother Nature. Well done Andy. This is a truly authentic spot to visit. We love being a club member.
Cairjn Wine Cellars is a fantastic up-and-coming spot located in Paso Robles, California. Despite being relatively new on the scene, Andy Neha is already making a name for himself with its small-batch, handcrafted wines. The wines are exceptional, with a focus on Rhône varietals such as Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. The wines are complex, with layers of flavor and a distinctive character that reflects the unique terroir of the region.We had an amazing opportunity to sit down with the owner and winemaker, Andy. This intimate experience allowed us to learn about the winemaking process firsthand and gain a deeper appreciation for the wines. Andy is a passionate and knowledgeable winemaker who takes great pride in his craft. Looking forward to opening another bottle soon!!
