Description
Ryder Estate wines are crafted from our sustainably farmed estate
vineyards on California’s golden coast. California is blessed with
cool ocean air that blankets our vineyards in the early morning until
the warm sun peaks through the clouds in the afternoon. This
wonderful combination of sea, sunshine and soil makes perfect
growing conditions for our grapes to develop intense flavors and
elegant character that is true to each varietal.
Our passion is to make the best wine each vintage to enhance life’s
best moments. At Ryder Estate, we keep it real and make great
wines you can trust.
WINEMAKING
At the winery, the fruit is carefully sorted then destemmed, crushed and fermented
at warm temperatures in stainless steel fermenters. Gentle punch downs are
performed several times a day. Once dry, the must is pressed into stainless steel
tanks for settling, then racked prior to aging on new and neutral French and
American oak.
TASTIN G N O T E S
Our Ryder Estate Merlot is savory, ripe and velvety. Black fruit and blueberry
aromas lead into flavors of ripe plum and raspberry with vanilla notes. ¬The
tannins are soft and integrated, leading into a satisfying finish with hints of mocha
and spice. Pairs deliciously with lamb sliders with tzatziki sauce, your grandma’s
famous spaghetti or a night in the lodge after a day on the slopes.
