ESTANCIA CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Estancia is translated from the Spanish word for "estate," and emphasizes our conviction that the world's best wines capture the essence of their place of origin. In 1999, Estancia developed nearly seven hundred acres along the Estrella River benchland in Paso Robles, nearly four hundred acres of which is Cabernet Sauvignon. This emerging region is ideal for producing grapes that result in complex and delicious Cabernet Sauvignon displaying intense dark fruit flavors followed by a long, rich finish.The 2017 is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petite Sirah, 4% Merlot, 3% Syrah, 2% Malbec, and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep crimson color, black cherry and brown spice aromas with notes of coffee. Toasty, lingering tannins mid-palate, complemented by black cherry, brown spice, and dark chocolate flavors.Pair with spaghetti bolognese, chicken marsala, chargrilled hambugers, or flourless chocolate cake. With cheese, an aged Gruyere is perfect.
