2018 Meritage
Nose: Aromatic and complex. Light rose petal up front, earthy juniper berry, followed by dark fruit, cassis, smoky Italian plum, & coffee with light spicy notes of black pepper and cinnamon. Complex and well-integrated...just a whiff will leave your mouth watering and get you to the table quickly.
Palate: The attack is smooth with silky red fruits with a rich texture that envelopes the whole mouth. The wine finds its finesse and power in the mid palate where it present rich dark fruits, cassis, smoky plum, dried fruits, and a selection of spices: touch of white pepper, cinnamon, and clove. Finishes very long with flavors of candied fruits, licorice, and savory berry flavors.
