You will discover delightful notes of citrus and stone fruits, complemented by hints of herbaceousness that are characteristic of the varietal. The wine is beautifully dry, allowing the flavors to shine through without any residual sweetness, while its subtle yet noticeable tannins add a touch of structure to the overall mouthfeel. Perfect for pairing with seafood or fresh salads, this vintage captures the essence of its terroir, inviting you to experience the refreshing qualities of a well-crafted Fumé Blanc.

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.
