"Ora Et Labora"

2013 Santa Maria Valley Grenache

The Paul Lato "Ora Et Labora" is a remarkable Grenache from the Santa Maria Valley, showcasing the region's ability to produce wines of incredible depth and character. This red wine presents a beautiful, vibrant hue that draws you in, while the nose is filled with enticing aromas of ripe red fruit, subtle floral notes, and hints of spice that invite exploration. On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied experience with a lively acidity that lifts the fruit flavors and adds a refreshing brightness. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, providing structure without overpowering the delicate fruit. This wine is crafted to be dry, allowing the luscious fruit intensity to shine through, making it an excellent companion for a variety of culinary delights.

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.
