Waxwing

2013 Arroyo Seco Riesling

The Global Wine Company Waxwing, a delightful Riesling from the Arroyo Seco region, showcases the true essence of this varietal. With its radiant white hue, this vintage 2013 wine greets the senses with an enticing aroma of stone fruit and floral notes, inviting you to take a sip. On the palate, it reveals a vibrant and refreshing acidity that perfectly balances the ripe fruit characteristics, making it a wonderfully food-friendly option. The wine is dry, allowing its rich flavors of apricot and peach to shine through without overwhelming sweetness. A subtle minerality weaves through, adding depth and complexity, while maintaining a light-medium body that ensures ease of enjoyment. This enchanting Riesling is a testament to the artistry of winemaking in this celebrated region.

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.
