The Central Coast

FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN CRAFTING AWARD-WINNING WINES ALONG CALIFORNIA’S CENTRAL COAST

Ranging from Santa Barbara north to the Golden Gate Bridge, the Central Coast wine region extends 300 miles along California’s Pacific coastline. To craft Smith & Hook Sauvignon Blanc, we focus on warm-climate vineyards of the Arroyo Seco appellation.

The Vineyards

Arroyo Seco

Translating to “dry riverbed,” Arroyo Seco begins in a steep, narrow gorge at the foot of the Santa Lucia Mountain range and extends east to the Salinas Valley. With a cooler climate, the AVA straddles a gravelly, dry riverbed that yields fruit with balanced acidity and tannins, contributing structure and backbone to the finished wine.
