Beautiful Meritage for the price $28 retail and about $55 at restaurants. Pairs exceptionally well with a juicy steak. Classic Bordeaux aromas lead to nice structure, dusty tannins and lengthy finish. Very complex for the price.

May 4th, 20192014 vintage. 41 Petit Verdot 27 Malbec 19 Cab Sauv 10 Cab Franc 2 Carménère 1 Merlot. Prefer it with a little chill, as it shows more structure and darker fruit profile. At room temp, jammy red fruits and overt toasted oak dominate the profile. Cooler: black currant, blackberry, black fig, mulberry, toasted coconut, almond skin, walnut, nutmeg, black rocks, dried violets, tobacco. Pretty good complexity at the right temp, though overly confected if too warm.
