This delightful offering exhibits a light to medium body that invites the palate to experience its charm without overwhelming it. The acidity is pleasantly bright, enhancing the overall freshness and vivacity of the wine. Its fruit intensity shines through with prominent notes of red berries, complemented by subtle hints of floral undertones. The tannins are soft and approachable, providing a smooth mouthfeel that balances the wine beautifully. As a dry wine, it embodies elegance and refinement, making it an excellent choice for various food pairings or enjoyable on its own.

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.
