Apassimento

2013 Monterey Cabernet Sauvignon

Scheid Vineyards Apassimento, a captivating red wine, showcases the rich heritage of Monterey's winegrowing region. Crafted from meticulously dried Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, this 2013 vintage invites the palate with its full-bodied profile and delightful complexity. With high acidity, it offers a lively freshness that elegantly balances its ripe fruit intensity, which is prominent and expressive, revealing layers of dark fruit such as blackcurrant and plum. The tannins are firm yet approachable, adding structure and depth to the wine. This off-dry selection is perfect for those seeking a bold yet harmonious experience, making it a superb accompaniment to hearty dishes or a delightful choice on its own.

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.
