Late Harvest

2008 Santa Barbara County Viognier

The Lucas & Lewellen Late Harvest Viognier from the 2008 vintage is a delightful representation of Santa Barbara County's exceptional terroir. This white wine showcases a full-bodied profile, balancing lush fruit characteristics with vibrant acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering enticing notes of stone fruit and honeyed citrus that create a luscious mouthfeel. With a touch of residual sweetness, this wine is beautifully off-dry, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate a more fruit-forward experience. The overall complexity and structure of this late harvest gem are enhanced by soft, integrated tannins that provide a harmonious finish, leaving a memorable impression of its elegance and depth.

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.
