Wine Tasting Notes
Escafeld Vineyards
Escafeld Vineyards is located in Jolon, in Monterey County's San Antonio Valley which is was awarded AVA status in 2006. With 2 acres planted to Zinfandel and 3 acres planted to Merlot, Escafeld released these two varietals as their first offerings in 2002. Steve and Elsbeth Wetherill purchased the land for the vineyard in 1997 and in 2002 and 2003 planted an additional two acres to the "big five" Bordeaux reds: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
Steve who serves as wine maker (while consulting with professional enologists) and Elsbeth have been very instrumental in the establishment of the AVA. We will watch this winery and region as both develop.
