2012 Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon

The Vine Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2012 vintage is a striking red wine that beautifully showcases the characteristics of its Central Coast origin. This full-bodied wine offers a robust profile with a high level of acidity that brings vibrancy and structure to the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring luscious notes of blackcurrant and dark cherry, balanced by subtle herbal undertones. The tannins are notable yet well-integrated, providing a firm backbone that supports the wine's complexity. With its dry composition, this Cabernet Sauvignon is perfect for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own. Its elegance and sophistication exemplify the quality that the Central Coast is renowned for.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
