We've made Meritage since 1985. This Bordeaux based blend is considered by many as winemaker's art - there are no constraints when putting the blend together, other than there must be two or more Bordeaux varietals in the final blend. The resulting wine is rich and concentrated with wonderful texture and density.

Winemaker Notes:

The 2003 Meritage is our ?rst vintage incorporating Malbec into the blend. The addition of this varietal adds additional layers of depth and complexity to this stylish and elegant wine. The aromas begin with ripe black cherry and ?nish with vanilla and a hint of mocha. On the palate, bright currant and plum ?avors lead to cedar and tobacco notes. This wine is seamless and well-integrated from beginning to end and should age and develop beautifully for several years to come.
