  December 18, 2023 - The 2014 Estate Meritage Red is a 100% estate blend consisting of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and small amounts of Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. It’s deep and concentrated in color mirroring the intense black fruit aromatics on the nose. The palate is delicate and smooth with flavors of blackberry, plum, and violet that are complemented by clove, and a hint of smoky vanilla. The estate fruit shines on the finish in this smooth and supple blend for a balanced and more complex Napa wine. Blend: 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, 7% Malbec, 6% Cabernet Franc

  May 29, 2021 - Napa cab based Bordeaux blend. Very pleasant nose of red fruit, cherry and raspberry. Very nice mouthfeel, with the red fruit and some tab o/leather on the palate. I noticed some oak, but it’s not overly oaked to me that some some other posters mentioned. I’d say this is medium weight. Really enjoyable, but not memorable. Great price though for a Napa based wine, I think I paid $45. I believe this was #100 on the WS list for 2018.
