I kinda think that Paso is better overall when looking at Rhone varietals and Zinfandel. The Treana to me fit your description of being too soft on tannins and feeling a little flabby. The fruit profile was nice and you do pick up some of the secondary spice notes, but the high alcohol and lack of structure made it all feel clumsy. It's a shame because when I got my bottle I really wanted to like it. I do think the Cabs in Paso get a little better moving west and in higher elevations- like the Justin you mentioned, I also really liked Adelaida Viking Estate when I had it.
