Le Cigare Volant

California’s Central Coast is celebrated for its diverse and high-quality wines, including Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from cool-climate regions like Santa Barbara and Santa Lucia Highlands, and bold Syrah, Zinfandel, and Cabernet Sauvignon from warmer areas like Paso Robles. Stretching from Santa Barbara in the south to Monterey in the north, the region benefits from a variety of microclimates influenced by the Pacific Ocean, with cool, foggy mornings and warm afternoons providing ideal conditions for a range of grape varieties. The soils are equally diverse, including ancient marine sediment, shale, limestone, and sandy loam, allowing for unique expressions of terroir.
