Vintner's Reserve

2013 Monterey County Riesling

The Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Riesling from the 2013 vintage is a delightful expression of Monterey County's unique terroir. This white wine showcases a bright and mouthwatering acidity that perfectly balances its medium body and promotes a refreshing drinking experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of ripe peaches, crisp green apples, and hints of tropical pineapple that dance on the palate. This Riesling is elegantly off-dry, making it versatile and food-friendly, whether enjoyed with spicy Asian cuisine or a simple seafood dish. The wine is a beautiful testament to the exceptional quality of Monterey County Rieslings, capturing the essence of its grape-growing region with every sip.

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.
