Cuveee Rouge

2006 Paso Robles 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot

Sharp's Hill Vineyards Cuvee Rouge is a captivating blend that showcases the rich diversity of Paso Robles. Composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, with a hearty contribution of Merlot and a touch of Petit Verdot, this wine presents a deep ruby hue that hints at its intensity. On the nose, it unfurls layers of dark fruit aromas, predominantly blackcurrant and plum, complemented by subtle notes of oak and spice that enhance its complexity. The palate reveals a medium to full-bodied profile, marked by graceful acidity that balances the lush fruitiness, delivering a mouthwatering experience. Well-integrated tannins provide structure and longevity, making it an exceptional choice for food pairings or contemplation. This wine is dry yet sumptuous, ensuring a delightful finish that lingers delightfully.

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.
