Central Coast
Visit Central Coast stretches over 500 kms, from San Francisco to Santa Barbara in California. The region is made up of 9 appellations (AVAs), including Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo County, Monterey County and Santa Cruz Mountains.

This long wine-growing strip enjoys a mild oceanic climate that allows for an excellent diversity of wines.

Central Coast vineyards are among the oldest in California, planted by Franciscan monks in the late 18th century.

"Bold!"

Coppola's Diamond Collection Santa Barbara Pinot Noir 2020 presents a nose of rich black (cherry) and red (red currant) fruit aromas with hints of toasted almonds and dried flowers. Bold, this masculine-structured cuvée offers gourmet aromas of spiced apple pie on the palate, with notes of very fine fruit paste and a few woody touches, for a spectacular finish. This pretty red will be the perfect companion for barbecues and other springtime festivities... Not to be missed!

Birichino Central - Besson Vineyard Grenache Old Vines 2019

California
grenache
surprising

"The experience of this winery, conducted on a 110-year-old vineyard grown without irrigation, continues to improve with each vintage. On the nose, aromas of fresh redcurrant and raspberry are enhanced by aromas of maquis, gravel and freshly tilled earth. The palate is marked by herbaceous notes, while a robust structure frames flavors of red currant, crinkled carnation and rose tea." (Wine Enthusiast 2021) Probably one of the purest expressions of the grape variety!

prestige

"Very limited quantities!"

"Finally, the utterly perfect Syrah Touche 2012 reminds me of a great vintage of Guigal's Cote Rotie La Landonne. [...] Deep, concentrated, full-bodied, with a multi-dimensional texture and notes of camphor, salted meats, violets, smoke and black fruits, this beauty has fine, perfectly ripe tannins and hit-or-miss length. Give it 3-4 years and drink it over the next two decades." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Taster). - Very limited quantities!
