This 2013 vintage showcases a deep red color, inviting you to explore its complex aromas.

On the palate, this full-bodied wine exhibits bright acidity that adds a refreshing lift, ensuring a balanced profile. Its tannins are notable yet supple, providing a firm structure without overwhelming the fruit. As a food-friendly option, Shorty's pairs excellently with hearty dishes, making it a delightful choice for gatherings or an intimate dinner.

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.
