Cabernet Sauvignon

2023 Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon

Cienega Valley Winery's 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon is a delightful expression of the Central Coast's rich terroir. This red wine showcases a full-bodied profile, offering a robust character that is both inviting and complex. With a high level of acidity, it presents a bright and lively mouthfeel that seamlessly balances its richness. The fruit intensity is prominently expressive, featuring luscious notes of dark berries and hints of plum, while subtle undertones of oak contribute depth and warmth. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone without overwhelming the palate. This wine is crafted to be remarkably dry, making it an excellent choice for food pairings and enhancing its overall elegance. Enjoy this Cabernet Sauvignon as it beautifully reflects the quality and potential of the region.

Central Coast
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.
