About This Wine


Isolde's Rapture

Red Blend

From “Best of Show” Isolde’s Rapture, our captivating Red Blend from California’s Central Coast weaves a romantic apologue that captures the love affair between plush fruit flavor and enticing spice. This complex wine showcases jam-like sweetness with a plump palate and structured tannins. Like every great love story, the journey of quality winemaking is fueled by passion in the pursuit of magic. The grapes for our Red Blend come from the sun-drenched vineyards of California’s Central Coast. Here the growing season is filled with warm, dry days that extend well into autumn. This gives our grapes ample time to develop their rich fruit flavors and delightful sweetness. Once fermentation is complete, the wine ages in oak to add complex secondary notes and soften tannins. This wine is enchanting on its own with no companion. However, when paired with luscious desserts like dark chocolate or crème brûlée, one can enter a new realm of decadence.

Wine 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.
