Occasio
Occasio produces wines from California's Central Coast, drawing on the San Francisco Bay region's maritime influence and varied terroir. The winery's portfolio centers on Bordeaux varieties and Grenache, with Heritage Dos Mesas—a Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot blend—as its flagship red. The Heritage Cabernet Sauvignon offers a focused expression of the region's Cabernet potential, while Ghielmetti Vineyard Rosé demonstrates the winery's range with dry, mineral-driven Grenache. Wine Enthusiast has rated these wines, reflecting their technical precision and balance. The Central Coast's cool-climate conditions and diverse soil types support the structured, age-worthy character typical of the region's finest offerings.
