Central Coast is a large, diverse American Viticultural Area in California that is starting to truly differentiate itself with a clear style and flavor profile. Stretching from San Fransisco to Santa Barbara, this sunny region is a powerhouse for Pinot Noir and Rhone varieties such as Chenin Blanc, Roussanne, Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre.

But their partner to the East, the Central Valley, is a region that is still coming up in its national recognition. This dry, warm region leading up to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains is brimming with innovative winemakers creating bold, age-worthy Rhone wines that we are excited to taste with you.
