Winemaker 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.

Estancia, based in Monterey, was founded in 1986. The name Estancia is roughly 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. At Estancia we control the process from the start—from the trials in our experimental vineyard blocks, to planting, harvesting, fermenting and aging the wines. We've built a winery that allows us to devote the same attention to detail in winemaking that we give to our grapes. We use open-top fermenters and small basket presses for our Pinot Noir and new red-wine fermentation tanks that are fit for the diverse blocks in our Paso Robles vineyards. It is this hands-on crafting of the wines, from grapes to bottle, that result in our superior wine quality.
