Graciano

2012 San Benito County Graciano

The Outré Wines Graciano from the 2012 vintage showcases the distinct characteristics of this lesser-known varietal, hailing from the picturesque San Benito County. A deep ruby color hints at the wine's vibrant personality, while its medium body provides a satisfying mouthfeel that beautifully balances its fresh acidity. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with luscious notes of dark berries, plums, and a subtle touch of spice that tantalizes the palate. Tannins are moderate, offering a smooth structure that allows for easy drinking while still delivering a sense of complexity. This wine has a dry profile, making it a versatile choice for food pairings, from grilled meats to hearty pasta dishes, ensuring that it remains an exciting option on any dining table.

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.
