2008 Paso Robles Chardonnay

The Red Soles Winery Reserve Chardonnay from the 2008 vintage presents a beautiful expression of the Paso Robles region. This wine showcases a full-bodied character, perfectly balanced by its vibrant acidity, which provides a refreshing lift on the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of ripe apple, pear, and a touch of tropical fruit, all harmoniously intertwined with delicate hints of vanilla and oak from the aging process. The overall experience is complemented by a certain dryness that adds elegance to the finish. This Chardonnay is a delightful representation of what Paso Robles has to offer, making it an exceptional choice for any occasion.

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.
