Reserve, Meritage

2014 Paso Robles Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot

The Estancia Reserve Meritage is a captivating red blend that showcases the rich complexity of Paso Robles. This 2014 vintage beautifully marries the luscious fruit character of Merlot and Malbec with the structured elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. The wine presents a harmonious balance, offering a medium-full body that envelops the palate with layers of dark cherry, blackberry, and hints of cocoa and spice. Bright acidity brings freshness, enhancing the wine's overall vibrancy, while the tannins provide a firm backbone that gracefully supports its fruit intensity. This wine is masterfully crafted to be both satisfying on its own and food-friendly, making it a delightful companion for hearty dishes or a cozy evening by the fire. With its enticing aromas and depth of flavor, it captures the essence of the region and showcases the artistry of its winemakers.

Paso Robles

California's fastest-growing wine region is quickly gaining an international reputation for its innovative and boundary-breaking wines. Located halfway between LA and San Francisco, the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County has two main zones. The eastern side has a hot and sunny climate with deep, rich soils producing plush, fruity wines with sweet ripe flavors. To the west, the cooling influence of the Pacific brings a zingy backbone to rich Zinfandel and Rhône favorites like Syrah and Viognier. Italian varietals like Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are also favorites of Paso Robles grape growers and wine drinkers.
