In 1999, Estancia planted nearly 700 acres along the Estrella River benchland in Paso Robles; nearly 400 acres of which is Cabernet Sauvignon. This emerging region is ideal for producing grapes that result in complex and delicious Cabernet Sauvignon displaying intense black currant and dark cherry fruit flavors followed by a long, rich finish.

Our 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon has effusive black cherry, Dutch chocolate and currant aromas that complement the spicy, peppery notes and hints of toasted sweet oak. Opulent dark fruit flavors, with soft velvety tannins, which are followed by a long, rich finish.

Light straw gold in color. Fresh pear and crisp apple aromas are accentuated by notes of honeydew and a touch of floral on the finish. Bright tropical notes and stone fruit flavors compliment the vibrant nuances of citrus. Soft touches of toasty oak and cream accentuate the lingering, minerally finish.

GSM, you ask? It stands for Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre - the three grapes blended to make this wine. They're also the principal varieties of France's Rhone Valley. Syrah holds sway in the north around Hermitage, Grenache dominates the southern Rhone region of Chateauneuf du Pape, while Mourvedre is used in the south to add complexity to blends. The three come together as an homage to Chateauneuf de Pape. The 2002 debut vintage sold out in record time. Fortunately, we have more this time around.
