One of Core's flagship wines, the Elevation Sensation has been produced every year since 2002. This blend was co-fermented to produce a rich wine, which came from a combination of vineyards in the Central Coast region. Extended skin contact during fermentation, stem inclusion, and barrel aging are all great elements in winemaking practices. This wine was aged for 42 months in a combination of 1 year old hogsheads, and 600 and 800 liter demi-muid. The wine was bottled without fining or filtration

Pairings This wine has a strong finish that will stand up to hearty grilled foods or braised meats and tomato sauces.
