The Wines of the California Central Coast
The Wines of the California Central Coast
The Central Coast of California extends from San Francisco to Santa Barbara - a winemaker's dream of ocean breezes, hillside vineyards, and, of course, abundant sunshine.
The cooling influence of ocean breezes from the Monterey Bay and Pacific Ocean let the grapes ripen long on the vine. The Central Coast provides a climate that is ideally suited for the growing of premium coastal sun ripened grapes. The vineyards experience a prolonged growing season from the cool breezes, allowing ample time for the fruit to fully develop its flavor.
