2017 Meritage
Bordeaux Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot 17% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec
This signature blend is packed with fruit characters. On the nose there is a touch of cedar and spice that really accentuates the cherry and cassis aromas. On the palate we have dense black cherry and currant flavors given by the Cabernets and textbook blackberry characters from Merlot. Malbec gives a bit of extra weight and there is a touch of oak on the finish. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. We hope ou find it "GOOD AS GOLD!"
