NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

It shows a deep, inky black color that hints at its concentration.On the nose, it captivates with rich aromas of blackberries, ripe plums, and dark chocolate, intermingled with notes of espresso and cedar from oak aging. The palate is full-bodied and opulent, with velvety tannins that frame flavors of blackcurrant, black cherry, and a touch of spice. The wine's structure is impeccable, providing a seamless and luxurious mouthfeel. The finish is exceptionally long, leaving a lingering impression of black fruits and a subtle hint of vanilla.

ORIGINS

Winery: Highlands 41

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.
