Winemaker Notes
Generous mid-palate silky tannins; hints of blackberry and chocolate with a nice lingering finish.

Estancia relies on the benefits of boutique-style winemaking techniques, including whole-cluster fermentation, gentle punch downs, and basket pressing. Our Monterey-based winery uses gentle gravity flow systems to minimize aggressive tannins and bitterness. It is this crafting of the wines—from grapes to bottle—that results in our consistent and superior wine quality.

"Slightly shy dark fruit, spice and gravel aromas show on the nose of this affordably priced bottling. Cranberry, dried herb and mineral flavors are apparent on the palate, which finishes on a fruit punch note."
