Late Harvest

2008 Monterey Riesling

Kendall-Jackson Late Harvest Riesling from the 2008 vintage showcases the enticing beauty of Monterey's terroir. This white wine is characterized by its luscious, full-bodied nature, offering a delightful balance of sweetness and acidity. The mouthwatering acidity brings vibrancy to the palate, complementing the prominent fruit intensity that bursts with flavors of honeyed apricot, luscious peach, and zesty citrus. A subtle hint of floral notes enhances its complexity, while the finish reveals a refreshing essence that leaves a lasting impression. This exquisite late harvest Riesling is a brilliant choice for those seeking a dessert-style wine that pairs beautifully with a variety of sweet treats or stands wonderfully on its own.

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.
