Wine Tasting Videos Wine Tasting 29: 1997 Estancia Cabernet Sauvignon from California - 02:57
Estancia has been one of the bargain quality wines from California for many years. Do forgive my memory, I paid under Cad$25 for this wine about 5 or 6 years ago. The colour when observed already showing that of an aged wine that's brownish brick garnet. Old wine nose of prune, dark soya sauce and sweet glycerol emerged with lower level of ripe blackcurrant and dark cherry. The taste of the wine confirmed the above with more dark chocolate and tobacco to follow. The fruit level as well as tannin has been dropped thus the mouth feel was round and velvet. This wine should have been opened 2 years ago in my opinion as it would have been more balanced. Do drink the remaining stock if you still have some!
