=== What Is Meritage? ===
In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to
identify hand-crafted wines blended from the traditional "noble"
Bordeaux varietals including: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and
Petit Verdot and Malbec or Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Sauvignon
Vert.<br><br>
"Meritage," pronounced like "heritage," was selected from
more than 6,000 entries in an international contest to name the new wine
category. Meritage is an invented word that combines "merit" and
"heritage" -- reflecting the spirit of members of The Meritage
Association.
