Really liked this wine. Nice deep purple color. Nice red fruit on the nose. Very fresh red raspberry and cherry flavor. Well integrated alcohol and light tannins on the back end. Great QPR. Medium body. Great on it's own, but a little overwhelmed by a spicy bbq burger.

This wine seems to actually be under 2 labels....Meritage and Vinetta....they are exactly the same wine for 06. I wonder what the story is..... licensing issue? In any case I did right a formal note for the "Meritage" but since these are the same wines the note will stand here so you can look it up under that label if you are interested....great value wine...got this one under the "Vinetta" label from Targets for $9.99 and buy 4 and get another 10% off bringing it down to $8.99...this is a tremendous value for under $10 and an excellent every day'r.

No formal notes at consumption. Moderate nose that opened with time to reveal black fruit with notes of spice and oak. Medium bodied with a short finish.
