The Estancia Winery has always represented value every bit as much as consistently high quality. The 2017 Meritage is no exception. It’s Cabernet Sauvignon-centric at 72 percent, which provides plenty of heft, and the rest is Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Compare this impressive Meritage to wines at twice or three times the price and you can’t go wrong. A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
