| Description: |
|
Roughly translated from the Spanish word for 'estate' Estancia's name emphasizes the founder's conviction that the world's best wines capture the essence of their place of origin. In 1986, Estancia purchased the former Paul Mason vineyard ranches in the Monterey town of Soledad to established it as the home of Estancia Winery. This wine is made from grapes grown at the Paso Robles vineyard. It is characterised by hot days, cool nights and stressed vines that earmark this region and 700-acre vineyard for greatness. Its location in Paso Robles, a region that borders Monterey County to the south and is twenty miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, is integral in shaping the crisp acidity and mature tannins distinctive of the Cabernet, Merlot, Petite Verdot, Zinfandel, Syrah and Petite Sirah grown here. Extreme temperature swings are common, with summer daytime temperatures topping 100 degrees Fahrenheit and nights influenced by cool fog. The vineyard's location on open benchlands along the Estrella River, where six soil types battle for minimal water, also adds to the deeply concentrated nature of the grapes. Today, Estancia's winemakers strive to combine the best of both worlds- a state of the art winemaking facility, and a traditional, hands-on approach to each grape they produce. In the end, this combination of technology and tradition allows Estancia to deliver the hand-crafted quality for which these wines are known. While the cutting-edge facilities enable Estancia to take advantage of the beneficial advances in winemaking technology. Finally, Estancia's commitment to old world processes results in the complexity and elegance found in artisanal and boutique wines. This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon , Merlot and a little Petit Verdot that will spend 12 months in Amrican Oak of which 25% is new. This has produced a deep garnet coloured wine with crimson hues. This wine has a black cherry and dutch chocolate aroma to complement the spicy, peppery notes and hints of sweet oak. The opulent dark fruit flavours and ripe supple tannins complement the long, rich finish.

Estancia Pinot Noir Monterey California
Description: Roughly translated from the Spanish word for 'estate' Estancia's name emphasizes the founder's conviction that the world's best wines capture the essence of their place of origin. In 1986, Estancia purchased the former Paul Mason vineyard ranches in the Monterey town of Soledad to established it as the home of Estancia Winery and of cool climate varietals. The 1,200-acre Vineyard is situated on a frost-free benchland above Salinas Valley on California's Central Coast, in the Monterey town of Soledad. Cooled by morning and evening fog but far enough away from Monterey Bay to get a good daily dose of sun. The site is ideal for producing cooler climate varietals like Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay, due to the Sandy, naturally parched soil that produces bright and concentrated flavours that are reflected so well in this wine. Today, Estancia's winemakers strive to combine the best of both worlds- a state of the art winemaking facility, and a traditional, hands-on approach to each grape they produce. In the end, this combination of technology and tradition allows Estancia to deliver the hand-crafted quality for which these wines are known. While the cutting-edge facilities enable Estancia to take advantage of the beneficial advances in winemaking technology. Finally, Estancia's commitment to old world processes results in the complexity and elegance found in artisanal and boutique wines. This 100% Pinot Noir is aged 10 months in 35% New french Oak barrels. This has produced a red coloured wine with purple edges and a rich aroma of ripe dark cherries and wild red berries with hints of spicy cola and soft oak. The dark berry fruit aromas are also evident on the palate of this opulent wine with rich and elegant tannins as well as bright acidity that culminate in a lingering finish.

Estancia Merlot California
Description: Roughly translated from the Spanish word for 'estate' Estancia's name emphasizes the founder's conviction that the world's best wines capture the essence of their place of origin. In 1986, Estancia purchased the former Paul Mason vineyard ranches in the Monterey town of Soledad to established it as the home of Estancia Winery. This wine is produced from this vineyard and also from one in Passo Robles. The 1,200-acre Monterey Vineyard is situated on a frost-free benchland above Salinas Valley on California's Central Coast, in the Monterey town of Soledad. Cooled by morning and evening fog but far enough away from Monterey Bay to get a good daily dose of sun.

This blend of Merlot and a little Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah is aged 8 months in french Oak barrels of which 20% is new each year. A ruby red coloured wine it has ripe cherry and plum aromas as well as hints of mocha. Juicy and ripe with focused cherry and black cherry flavours, this is a round, soft wine with good mouthfeel, while the lingering finish has overtones of sweet oak and chocolate.
