Bottling Date
May 22, 2023
The Meritage 2021 is the blend of 46% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Franc, 13% Petit Verdot from our estate vineyards. This wine was created from a barrel selection of our best blocks. The lots were blended shortly after malolactic fermentation, and aged for a total of 18 months in French oak barrels (40% new, 60% neutral).
Today, this wine presents aromas of blue fruits surrounded by coffee and earthy notes, and while it is approachable now, the wine will gain complexity with additional aging in your cellar.
