The beauty of a Meritage is that it is delicious to drink without needing a lot of aging. It’s the art of blending that does it – tannic varietals are blended with smoother ones, and the result is a complex wine that makes you say, “Ah!” And this Meritage is no exception. It begins with luscious dark cherry aromas and a light floral note, and continues to a beautiful finish with lingering tannins. Serve it with a smoked onion and gruyere cheese tart followed by a garlic and thyme roasted New York strip steak … and be ready for lots of friends at your door!
