Not bad for trying at the airport lol not much complexity but it’s at least not too sweet and has a little bit of spice too it, but it’s not very bold

This one is real sweet and easy. Merlot shows well, the petite Verdot keeps it from being too soft. And excellent blend. This is like the pretty girl in high school -- she's not wild, but you'll take her all night any day.

Opens up nicely after breathing for an hour....reminiscent of the BIG Brother.
Non vintage but mostly 2010 fruit. Think cherries, currants, some herbs and tobacco. Easy drinking .... Perfect for when the fog rolls in (San Francisco) like now!

And Abel said to Cain.."Hey quit trying to one up me all the time and buy some Napa varietals, blend them perfectly and come up with one of the finest Meritage's around."
And Cain said.."you're such a colossal pain in the ass. What? Cain Five wasn't good enough? You have to have a totally accessible Cab blend with the slightest amount of Petit Verdot to balance things out and keep the fruit under control? Seriously? You have to have a great wine that's ready to go right now? Okey Dokey! And here's some more lamb."
So sayeth the book of Dana.
