Meritage Napa County Red Blend
Napa County, North Coast, California, USA
Would've blind guessed Zinfandel, except for the tannins, it's just as jammy as can be. A cuvée of all five Bordeaux varietals, with blackberry jam, ripe bursting blueberries, and cassis. Enjoy a simple, easy, sipper. The many glasses here gulped it down!

Really tasty but don’t recall specifics as I missed the opportunity to comment when tasting. Would definitely drink again, and again 😁

Sep 7th, 2020Medium-light ruby hue with high saturation. Aromas and flavors of blueberry, cassis, cherry, earthy, eucalyptus, graphite, licorice, plum, raspberry, strawberry, and violet. Medium-plus body; ripe, medium-heavy tannins; and medium-plus acidity. Complex nose; robust mouthfeel; lengthy finish. Drinking perfectly now. Proprietary blend of (mostly) Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc.

Holy moly. Best $17 Napa I've had in a decade. Needed a breather but great stuff.

Was trying to find the red blend we had been drinking in Germany, and the wine shop recommended this beauty. Rich and dry. Delicious.

Heavier bodied red. Strong berry flavors, grippy but calms down a bit with time. Beautiful medium red color. For me not really a summer wine much better in cooler weather.

Jun 4th, 2017Had the Meritage which was a classic "Bordeaux" blend. Held its own against the next two wines on my list.
