Il Toyon

2002 Paso Robles Nebbiolo

Lone Madrone Il Toyon, a stunning Nebbiolo from the enchanting Paso Robles region, showcases the exceptional qualities of this varietal. This full-bodied red wine offers a beautiful balance of richness and complexity, making it a delightful experience for the senses. With pronounced acidity, it possesses a vibrant liveliness that invigorates the palate. The tannins are notable yet well-integrated, adding structure without overshadowing the fruit. Speaking of fruit, this wine presents an intensity that is both prominent and captivating, with enticing notes of ripe cherries, dark berries, and subtle floral undertones. The 2002 vintage adds an extra layer of depth, highlighting the wine's age and character. Perfectly dry, Lone Madrone Il Toyon is an exquisite choice for those who appreciate the elegance of Nebbiolo and the unique terroir of Paso Robles.

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.
