The Winery At Holy Cross Abbey

Colorado reds: Syrah, Cabernet Franc, and Reserve Merlot.

The Winery At Holy Cross Abbey produces wines in Colorado, a region increasingly recognized for its high-altitude viticulture and distinctive expression of classic varietals. The winery's portfolio centers on red wines that have drawn assessment from major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Wine Spectator. Its Syrah demonstrates the structure and depth characteristic of Shiraz-based wines, while a Cabernet Franc offers the varietal's signature herbaceous complexity and fine tannins. A Reserve Merlot rounds the core range, showcasing the softness and plum-forward character Merlot can achieve at elevation. Colorado's cool nights and intense sun create conditions that favor ripe fruit development alongside natural acidity—a balance evident in these bottlings.
