K&L Notes

Previously labeled Ca' del Solo, Bonny Doon's 2010 Central Coast Albarino is one of the most distinct bottlings of the varietal in California. A fresh and clear nose of lemon, bay laurel, and citrus blossom introduce a textured palate of grapefruit, lemon, and marzipan. It is a natural pairing with seafood, goat cheese, or briny foods like green olives. This Albarinio is sourced from 65% Ca’ del Solo Vineyard in Monterey County and 35% Jespersen Ranch in San Luis Obispo.

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

California

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.

Specific Appellation:

Monterey/Carmel Valley

- These heavily planted regions on either side of the vast Salinas Valley account for much of the mass-produced, commercial wine sold in supermarkets nationwide. In the hills, however, and in sub-AVAs like Chalone and Santa Lucia Highlands, quality is much higher. Pinot noir and chardonnay look to be particularly promising.
