2021 Meritage

Our 2021 Meritage shows the balanced depth and richness that Bordeaux style blends bring to the table. The nose opens with red and black cherries, anise and currants framed by warm baking spice and vanilla bean French oak notes. The rich and full entry on the palate gives way to supple lingering tannins.
