St. Regis Princeville

2012 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

The Ballard Lane St. Regis Princeville is a captivating Cabernet Sauvignon from the renowned Paso Robles region. This vintage from 2012 showcases a deep ruby red color that hints at its rich character. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience with pronounced acidity that brings a refreshing brightness to the wine. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of blackcurrant and dark cherry, complemented by subtle notes of oak and vanilla from careful aging. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing a sturdy backbone that enhances the wine's structure. As a dry wine, it pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like grilled steaks or rich pastas, making it a delightful choice for any occasion.

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.
