All Star Game

2014 Monterey County Pinot Noir

This red wine showcases a radiant garnet hue, inviting you to explore its aromatic profile filled with vibrant cherry, luscious raspberry, and a hint of earthiness that adds complexity. On the palate, it reveals a medium body that is both elegant and refreshing, characterized by bright acidity that dances harmoniously with its fruit-forward character. The fine tannins provide structure without overwhelming the experience, making it approachable and enjoyable. Its lovely dry finish leaves a lingering impression, perfect for sipping on its own or pairing with a variety of dishes, from grilled salmon to roasted poultry. The Midsummer Classic All Star Game is a true celebration of the art of winemaking, capturing the essence of its stunning Monterey terroir.

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.
