2022 Meritage – Club Exclusive

Tasting Notes
The 2022 Wente Vineyards Meritage is a rich, balanced Bordeaux-style blend with aromas of black currants, Bing cherries, and creamy French oak, accented by cinnamon, graham cracker, and toasted vanilla. On the palate, vibrant red cherry and blackberry enhance the full-bodied structure, with polished tannins and complex layers leading to a refined finish.
