Estancia 2000 Meritage Red

Winemaker's tasting notes

Estancia Meritage is crafted to create a sophisticated, rich, complex and luscious wine harvested from the Alexander Valley's distinctive terroir. The 2000 vintage was a mix of cool and warm spells, which proved to be excellent for allowing the grapes to hang on the vine for a long time to develop concentrated flavors and ripen evenly until they were ready to be harvested at their peak.

A rich, complex and luscious wine blended from the finest lots harvested from the Alexander Valley. Cabernet Sauvignon contributes structure and depth, Cabernet Franc adds spiciness and fruit, and Merlot finishes off the wine with a supple roundness.
