WINE DESCRIPTION
Gunsight Rock wines capture the richness and beauty of California's wine country, evoking the wild, intense, and adventurous spirit of the region. Based in Paso Robles, one of California’s fastest-growing and most geographically diverse wine regions, these wines reflect the unique terroir of the Central Coast. Paso Robles, with its significant day-to-night temperature swings, diverse soils, and long growing season, offers optimal conditions for producing premium wines. The Gunsight Rock Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the sun-drenched east side of the appellation, near an abandoned riverbed, where the vines thrive in the heat. Crafted by winemaker Alec McTaggart, this wine embodies the bold character of Paso Robles.

ORIGINS
Winery: Gunsight Rock
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
