Lots of anise on the nose and palate to start. This mellowed as it sat, and the wine became quite nice. Balanced, dark, not too oaky or tannic. Nice. Recommend.

Newbie to Meritage, but liked it, long finish with the merlot lingering with oak tones, with some mellowed fruit forward from the cab sav, some marshmallow, cassis, well balanced and structured, smooth. It's good if a touch sweet... Would go great with some grilled portabello mushrooms.

Lots of oak and soft fruit. Hints of Star anise and pepper.
