WINE DESCRIPTION

Estancia Reserve Meritage is a premium red wine produced by Estancia Winery, known for their commitment to sustainable farming practices. The grapes for this wine are sourced from select vineyards in the Paso Robles appellation, which is known for its warm days and cool nights, resulting in grapes with concentrated flavors and balanced acidity. The winemaking process involves aging the wine in oak barrels, which adds subtle notes of vanilla and spice to the wine. The result is a full-bodied wine with rich flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and espresso, with a long and smooth finish.

ORIGINS

Winery: Estancia

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
