Late Harvest

2009 Paso Robles Sauvignon Blanc

The Alapay Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc from the 2009 vintage is a luxurious white wine hailing from the renowned Paso Robles region. This delightful wine presents a luscious full-bodied mouthfeel, accompanied by a high acidity that invigorates the palate, making it incredibly refreshing. Its prominent fruit intensity showcases vibrant notes of tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, alongside hints of ripe stone fruits, adding depth to its character. This exquisite offering is also brilliantly balanced, with a tantalizing sweetness that highlights its dry finish, making it an ideal companion for a variety of desserts or as a luscious aperitif. The Alapay Late Harvest is truly a testament to the beauty of late harvest wines, encapsulating the essence of Paso Robles in every sip.

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.
