Reserve

Central Coast Chardonnay

Josh Cellars Reserve Chardonnay from the Central Coast is a delightful expression of this popular varietal. This wine showcases a full-bodied character with bright acidity and a beautifully balanced profile. Upon tasting, you’ll be met with a prominent fruit intensity, featuring flavors of ripe apple, juicy pear, and hints of tropical fruits. There’s a subtle creaminess on the palate, complemented by nuances of vanilla and toasty oak from its careful aging process. The finish is long and satisfying, making it an excellent choice for pairing with rich seafood dishes or creamy pastas. Its award-winning pedigree and impeccable craftsmanship make this Chardonnay a standout gem among Central Coast wines.

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.
