On the palate, flavors of ripe stone fruit, such as peach and apricot, harmonize beautifully with subtle notes of vanilla and toasty oak, enhancing its complexity and charm. The silky texture and pronounced fruit intensity make this wine a stellar choice for various occasions, while its dry finish leaves a clean and satisfying impression, inviting one to savor each sip. This Chardonnay truly embodies the artistry of winemaking and the distinctive characteristics of its region.

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.
