KUNIN CENTRAL COAST PAPE STAR RED 2019

Seth Kunin's Central Coast expertise shines in this compelling GSM blend that captures the diverse microclimates of California's East-West valleys, where cooling marine influences meet sun-drenched hillsides. The limestone-rich soils and diurnal temperature swings of this transitional zone create ideal conditions for Rhône varietals, producing wines with both power and finesse. Dark cherries and cocoa powder emerge alongside wet earth aromas, while the palate delivers concentrated black cherry and plum flavors underpinned by mineral complexity. Light tannins and balanced acidity showcase Kunin's signature food-friendly style, reflecting his minimal-intervention approach that lets these acclaimed vineyard sites speak authentically, including sustainably-farmed Larner and Alisos vineyards.
