Medium Plus

2013 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2013 Rotta Medium Plus Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles is a vibrant red wine that showcases the region's exceptional fruit expression. With a medium-full body, this wine offers a delightful balance that is both engaging and satisfying. Its acidity is bright and lively, creating a refreshing mouthfeel that complements the rich flavors. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious notes of blackcurrant and plum, framed by subtle undertones of dark chocolate and a hint of spice. Tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that enhances the wine's longevity while remaining soft enough for immediate enjoyment. As a dry wine, the Rotta Medium Plus displays an elegant finish that invites another sip, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty 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.
