Enthusiastic Estancia


Hello Wine Drinkers!


Today's entry is a great value from our beloved state of California, Paso Robles Region, Estancia Cabernet. This little beauty will set you back a whopping $8.99 a bottle. I dare you to find a value like this! For this money it could be the value of the year!

Dark in color with rich dark fruits on the mouth with slight tannins and a long lingering finish. This wine is beautiful in your mouth, soft yet velvety and it finishes on the back of your tongue to remind you it is a Cabernet.

In 1999 Estancia planted nearly 700 acres of vines along the Estrella River, of which 400 acres was Cabernet. The Paso Robles Region has the most extreme temperature swings in the state which in turn produces complex rich Cabernet's. Because of this the grapes are small with tiny clusters and a high skin to juice ratio which help make intense wines.

Buy this wine by the cart full.


Cheers!
