Bonny Doon Vineyards Cigare Red Blend 2023 – Central Coast Elegance

Discover the artistry of California winemaking with Bonny Doon Vineyards’ celebrated 2023 Cigare Red Blend, a harmonious fusion of 69% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 14% Cinsault, and 2% Petite Sirah. Sourced from the cool coastal vineyards of Central Coast, this wine showcases the region’s signature balance of ripe fruit and vibrant structure.

Winemaker’s Craft

Renowned winemaker Randall Grahm meticulously selects grapes at peak ripeness, allowing Grenache—the star of this blend—to develop its signature spicy, peppery notes characteristic of coastal California. The addition of plump Cinsault enhances juiciness, while a touch of Petite Sirah adds depth. Aged in stainless steel to preserve freshness, this wine was bottled just 10 months after harvest, ensuring a bright, lively palate.
