Tasting Notes Our winemaker's artful blend of Merlot, and Malbec Grapes, this Meritage was aged in American Oak Barrels for 18 months. A medium bodied, dry red with intense oak and earthy aromas, this delivers a velvety mouth feel and complex flavors of dark cherry, red berries and spice, with an enjoyable buttered toast finish. Food Pairing Notes While we love savoring this wine on its own, our Meritage makes a great match for a charred burger with gruyere cheese, mushrooms and onions. Think rich meats with earthy, nutty flavors and you will have an excellent meal. Wood-fired pizza and tomato-based pasta dishes with rich spices or meat sauces also pair well! Winemaker Notes "… Meritage are handcrafted red or white wines blended from the ""noble"" Bordeaux grape varieties. A Meritage wine is considered the very best of the vintage. Blending is the personal expression of the winemaker's vision, a combination of skill and intuition that unites the elements of the winemaking process to create a work of art. It is the magic that gifted winemakers use to create wines of intrigue and enchantment."
