What reviewers say
“A nice cab from Paso Robles, an area I love! Aromas of sweet spice, chocolate and damp earth. Super dark ruby color all the way to the edge. Not as robust as some other Paso cabs, but still tasty. Tannins are there on the very tail end but that gets in the way of the finish. Wait for it, the finish comes well after you swallow and take a breath. Then, you get a bit of espresso coffee at the end.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The Calling Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon is an American red from Paso Robles. At $26.62 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the $15–30 band.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,155 other reds from the United States, not against the corpus as a whole. 120 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 121 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where The Calling Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · United States (1,156 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 120.
