| Description: | Paso Robles\r\n100% Estate Grown\r\nWinemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nThe goal for the Bootjack Red was to treat each varietal separately using techniques that preserve the best characteristics of each. As a foundation, Cabernet Sauvignon was added for structure, Malbec for a juicy component, Cabernet Franc for fine tannin and length, and Merlot for subtle fruit and finesse. All other varietals in the blend are accent pieces, each adding spice and different fruit characteristics. The barrels selected along with the amount of time spent in barrel brought all of the individual pieces together in a cohesive way.\r\nBlend: 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Malbec, 20% Cabernet Franc, 8% Grenache, 7% Carmenere,\u00a06% Merlot, 2% Zinfandel, 1% Barbera, 1% Syrah\r\nAbout Niner Estate\r\nFAMILY Owned & Estate GROWN\r\nwe are 100% estate grown and the integration of farming and winemaking is the foundation of everything we do.\r\nWe currently farm a total of 240 acres across\u00a0three different vineyards\u00a0in Paso Robles and Edna Valley, and make all our wine in our\u00a0LEED Certified Winery\u00a0at Heart Hill Vineyard. \u00a0We are known for our estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as well as our flagship blend\u00a0Fog Catcher; however, we grow a wide range of varietals and specialize in small lot bottlings that we allocate primarily to our Wine Club Members.\r\nAfter growing up on a farm in West Virginia, Richard Niner spent his career building small businesses across a wide variety of industries. \u00a0One of his business ventures brought him to Paso Robles in the early 1990s and he was immediately drawn to the potential of both the land and the people who lived here. \u00a0After a long search, Richard and Pam purchased their first vineyard,\u00a0Bootjack Ranch, in 2001 and spent the next decade building a tasting room and winery, finding and planting two additional vineyards, and assembling the current team. In 2013 they retired and their son Andy took over the day-to-day management of the business.\r\nWE Love Where We Live And What We DO\r\nWe are passionate about sharing our wines with our customers in every aspect of any experience. The Central Coast of California is truly a spectacular place, and we host\u00a0winery tours,\u00a0seasonally inspired lunch service\u00a0and\u00a0a variety of fun and creative dinners\u00a0designed to showcase it.\r\nWe believe that good people are the key to a memorable experience, so all our events are designed to be interactive and educational. Our Chef might decide to teach you how to\u00a0shuck fresh oysters during a class; our Winemaker may lead a blending seminar with his favorite barrels; our Vineyard Manager might take you to the top of Heart Hill to geek out about rootstock. Regardless, our goal is to have guests walk away loving this place as much as we do.\r\n\r\nTHIRD-PAR\u00adTY CERTIFICATIONS\r\nIn\u00a02023\u00a0we were award\u00aded the Cal\u00adi\u00adfor\u00adnia Green Medal Sus\u00adtain\u00adable Wine\u00adgrow\u00ading Lead\u00ader\u00adship Award for Busi\u00adness.
