Hearst Ranch Winery - Cholame
|
|
The hand-crafted offerings of Hearst Ranch Winery have been brought to life by the collaboration of sound agricultural practices, impeccable winemaking and the philanthropic involvement of Steve Hearst and Jim Saunders. The fruit from California’s Central Coast vineyards is among the finest in the world. Blend in the talent of our winemaker and you get Hearst Ranch Wines, exhibiting the excellence that is a testimony to the “Legacy of Quality™”—synonymous with the Hearst tradition.
Situated at the crossroads of Highway 46 and Highway 41 lies Hearst Ranch Winery's newest tasting room that shares a building with the famous Jack Ranch Cafe, well-known for its proximity to the James Dean Memorial site. The Tasting Room is encircled by the Jack Ranch; a 73,000 acre working cattle ranch named for its long-time owner Howard Jack who sold the land to the Hearst Corporation in 1965.

Meritage
Our debut Meritage, this offering was harvested from the Saint Hilaire vineyard, situated in the Salinas river valley just east of Templeton, California in the Paso Robles American Viticulture Area. The wine was aged in 40% new French oak barrels for 22 months. The wine received another nine months of bottle aging before being released. This is a big, dark, richly structured wine with amazingly depth, smoky hints of raspberry, cassis and vanilla!
