Meritage Reserve

2010 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec

The Estancia Meritage Reserve from the 2010 vintage is a splendid red blend hailing from the renowned Paso Robles region. This luxurious wine showcases a harmonious marriage of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, resulting in a complex and enchanting profile. Its body is expressive and full, perfectly complemented by a vibrant acidity that adds lift and balance. The deep hues entice the eye, while the aromas of dark fruits, such as blackcurrant and blackberry, intermingle with subtle hints of chocolate and spice, revealing the wine's rich fruit intensity. On the palate, the tannins are firm yet refined, providing structure and age-worthiness. With a pleasingly dry finish, this Meritage Reserve is a true testament to the craftsmanship of Paso Robles winemakers, making it an exceptional choice for special occasions or cozy dinners alike.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
