Le Cigare Blanc

Arroyo Seco Grenache Blanc, Roussanne

Bonny Doon Vineyard's Le Cigare Blanc, an enchanting blend of Grenache Blanc and Roussanne from the Arroyo Seco region, presents a delightful tasting experience that is both vivacious and sophisticated. This medium-bodied white wine captivates the palate with its lively, crisp acidity that enlivens every sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring tantalizing notes of ripe pear, green apple, and a hint of honeydew melon. The complexity of this wine is masterfully balanced with soft, yet noticeable, tannins that add structure without overpowering its fresh, vibrant character. The aromatic bouquet is equally compelling, with subtle floral undertones and a whisper of hazelnut. A true testament to the winery's craftsmanship, Le Cigare Blanc is a beautifully expressive, food-friendly wine that's perfect for pairing with a variety of dishes or enjoying 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.
