The Artiste Accolade is a captivating red wine crafted from Mourvèdre grapes, hailing from the renowned Paso Robles region. This vintage, released in 2009, showcases a full-bodied structure that envelops the palate with an inviting richness. Its acidity is pronounced, providing a bright counterpoint that enhances the wine’s depth. Enticing fruit intensity emerges with notes of dark berries, complemented by hints of spice and earthy undertones that reflect the unique terroir of Paso Robles. The tannins are firm yet graceful, adding a layer of sophistication that promises excellent aging potential. The wine is delightfully dry, making it a versatile choice for food pairings, whether enjoyed with flavorful roasted meats or hearty vegetarian dishes.

Central Coast

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.
