Estancia Merlot, Central Coast, 2016

We believe that the best wines capture the essence of their place of origin, and that is why we carefully nurture all 2,500 acres of our vineyards. Winemaking practices such as gentle pressing and small barrel aging create deeply concentrated and intensely flavored wines. Our central coast Merlot offers enticing flavors of black plum, toasty vanilla and bright berries with a silky smooth finish. This wine is perfect to pair with a meal of roast chicken or brie-stuffed burgers. www.estanciawines.com. Alc. 13.5% by vol. Vinted & Bottled by Estancia Winery, Acampo, CA.
