This blend is creaed a Bordeaux blend of 5 varietals from slected vineyards and includes cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabnert franc, petit verdot, and malbec.  This wine has a brilliant garnet in color, this Meritage is robust with aromas of dark red fruits, currants, and boysenberry with subtle notes of succulent dark chocolate and cedar completing the nose. Flavors of fresh strawberries and boysenberries are lush and pronounced on the palate, followed by hints of roasted coffee and maple. This is a big wine that is well-structured and has a long, smooth finish.

 I really enjoyed this wine and can say the US is really doing a great job with Bordeaux style wines.  I still love my Bordeaux, France.
