Late Harvest Zinfandel

2006 Central Coast Zinfandel

Clos Lachance Late Harvest Zinfandel from the 2006 vintage is a delightful expression of its varietal, showcasing the unique terroir of California's Central Coast. This red wine presents a rich and full-bodied profile that envelops the palate with an abundance of ripe fruit flavors, primarily vibrant blackberries and sweet cherries, complemented by notes of warm spiced undertones. The acidity is well-balanced, adding a refreshing quality that keeps the wine lively and mouthwatering. The tannins are smooth and approachable, providing a silky texture that enhances the overall indulgent experience. As a late harvest Zinfandel, it delicately straddles the line between sweetness and dryness, offering a luscious finish that invites a second sip. Perfectly suited for pairing with desserts or enjoyed on its own, this wine embodies the warmth and character of the region.

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.
