I love red blends and 2010 was a great red vintage in the finger lakes. This is a great example of an excellent FLX blend. The oak and fruit are beautifully balanced and the crisp acid cuts through a nice steak like a hot knife through buttah.

Exceptional year in upstate New York! Wagner only makes their Meritage blend from the best of the best years! A cooler climate red blend with great balance between darker fruit flavors, tannins and oak.

Well balanced cab franc, cab sauv, merlot blend. Side by side tasting with Ravines 2007 Meritage that was cab sauv heavy blend. Amazing experiment that proved NYS red wine can age well!

Oct 15th, 20172010 vintage was another warmer summer in #flxwine I've been holding onto this for a few years and still have a 2007 hanging in the storage unit. Light old oak on the nose with some dark black cherry notes plus a small hint of vanilla cream. Very smooth, spiced dark fruit with a similar finish. For a 2010 it still has a bit of bite on the finish. I have another bottle that I will let go a little longer still!

One of my favorites!!! High tannins and great strong dark fruit flavor. Great with meat and pasta sauce.

One of the best red wines of the finger lakes. Great red meat or Italian dish wine.

I don't normally do blends, but this one is solid and versatile, with rich flavors and a smooth finish.

Extremely smooth velvety feel. Tastes great with grilled steaks. Pairing with the grilled steaks really brings out the hint of vanilla
