The 2019 Ancestor showcases aromas of red currant and dark chocolate along with subtle hints of cinnamon and clove. The entry is soft and rich with layered flavors of blueberry, blackberry, and dark cherry. The mid-palate is thick and mouth coating with balanced acid. The finish is framed by integrated tannins and delicate flavors of caramel and truffle. | Halter RanchThe flagship wine at Halter Ranch, Ancestor is a Bordeaux style red blend from the Estate vineyards on the West Side of Paso Robles that are farmed sustainably. The entire ranch is SIP certified (Sustainability in Practice) and the quality of the wines gets a boost from the care and concern that go into production here. In the Ancestor red blend, we have always found a wine with great accessibility that leaves an impression with classic Paso Robles character of fruit meeting up with a balanced structure that makes for pleasant drinking. | Falling Bright
