2005 Estancia Shiraz, Central Coast

[wineguruchgo]

I'm guessing the grape name change might have something to do with change of ownership. I know that it is under the Franciscan umbrella and a few years back they sold to Constellation (I think - one of the mega-giants).

It's probably a marketing ploy. I'm not sure if the winemaker is the same but I'm pretty sure the property is.

$9.00 sounds like a deal actually. I would have put it in the $12-13.00 range.
