Rebekah

2008 Paso Robles 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc

The Alapay Rebekah is a captivating red wine that showcases a stunning blend of ninety-five percent Cabernet Sauvignon and five percent Cabernet Franc, highlighting the rich terroir of Paso Robles. This vintage is deep garnet in color, exuding elegance and sophistication. On the nose, enticing aromas of dark fruit mingle with hints of cedar and spice, creating a complex bouquet that draws you in. The palate is full-bodied, providing a robust mouthfeel that supports its notable tannins, beautifully structured for aging. Bright acidity dances on the tongue, enhancing the experience and adding a refreshing quality to the richness. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with layers of blackcurrant and blackberry complementing subtle herbal undertones. This wine is considered dry, making it an ideal companion for hearty dishes, and it reflects the skillful winemaking practices of the region. The Alapay Rebekah is a remarkable expression of Paso Robles, confidently standing out among its peers.

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.
