Meritage Finger Lakes Red Bordeaux Blend

Green with a bit of menthol and earth on the nose. A lean blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (72%) and Merlot (28%). Reads NY.

13 October 2018; Private gathering/bottle party at Morten and Lisa Hallgren's victorian house in Penn Yan, NY.

No formal notes.

A little tart to start. Opened up very nicely.

If you have this. Drink it now. Wow.

Delicious Bordeaux style blend. Velvety smooth tannins. Bright freshness. Dark fruits. Earthy Spice. Dried Herbs. This still has legs, if you have a few kicking around, you're lucky. #flxwine #drinkny #tasteny #nyswine #wine #ravines

Good structure and tannins. Showing young for a 2008.

Wow everyone just loved this vintage. Full body and so smooth. Paired very well with Rib Eye steaks and new potatoes. A real treat.

News Flash: It is true. Finger Lakes red wine can age with the best. Aromas of cedar, tobacco and earth. Flavors that mingle dark fruit and tar with a round, smooth mouthfeel. Finish was moderate to short with herbaceous notes but with an ample amount of acid. Herbaceous aromas developed as the bottle stayed open and wine flowed into my glass! I held this for a long time and was so nervous about it even though it had been stored perfectly. My experiment paid off and it was an amazing night with food and friends!

A great red blend. This was the wine served at our wedding.
