Sand Dollar
Sand Dollar produces wines from California's Central Coast, a region defined by maritime influence and diverse microclimates that shape distinctive fruit expression. The winery's Chardonnay demonstrates the region's capacity for balanced white wines, while its Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the darker fruit and structure characteristic of Central Coast reds. Both wines have been evaluated by Wine Enthusiast. The Central Coast's cool coastal breezes and varied soils create conditions suited to both classic varietals, allowing winemakers to capture ripeness without excessive alcohol or overripeness. Sand Dollar's focus on these two core expressions—one white, one red—anchors the winery's portfolio in the region's established strengths.
