FIRST PRODUCED 2001
The Estate Reserve, formally known as Estate Cuvée, has always been our flagship wine and ultimately the reason why Stephan left Bordeaux to make wine in Paso Robles.
With the 2021 vintage, we celebrated its 20th anniversary with our iconic dark blue label. With the 2022 vintage, we decided it was time to start a new chapter and elevate the name, the look and the feel. We wanted the wine to stand out from our lineup while still respecting the elegance, simplicity and timeless design of our brand.
The name “Estate Reserve” is not a big change from its original; however, it reflects everything that this wine represents, as it is the best our estate fruit and terroir have to offer. It is the heart of L’Aventure.
