This medium-bodied red wine displays a vibrant ruby hue that hints at its bright fruit profile. With a high acidity level, it dances on the palate, refreshing and lively, making it a delightful companion to various dishes. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering alluring notes of cherry and raspberry, layered with subtle hints of earthy undertones. Tannins are well-structured yet soft, providing a silky mouthfeel that enhances the overall drinking experience. As an off-dry wine, it presents just enough residual sweetness to balance the acidity, rounding out a truly enjoyable Pinot Noir from this picturesque region.

Central Coast
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.
