2005 Blend "Red Meritage" from Estate Vineyard in Livermore Valley

Price: $38.00    Review Date: 2009-03-18

VineSugar Review:

A stunning red blend that offers delight with every sip. Aromas of licorice, earthy spices, vanilla oak and loads of black cherries. Very approachable with a smooth mouthfeel, well balanced and big, soft tannins that linger chewy, truffle cherries in the mouth. Wonderful!

Winemaker Notes

This Red Meritage is a subtle, sophisticated wine that has elegance and finesse. Each varietal was aged separately in small oak barrels before being masterfully blended to showcase the best attributes of each grape. On the nose, dark plum blend with complex notes of cinnamon, and undertones of chocolate and anise. With well-integrated oak, this wine displays cinnamon, boysenberry, and mocha flavors, with medium tannins and balanced acidity.
