(From 2009 Vintage) It offers lavish dark plum, blackcherry, and blackberry aromas along with a velvety texture and succulent mid-palate flavors. Its finish is impressively long and enhanced by well integrated tannins. A superb match for hearty, richly flavored foods such as grilled rib eye or porterhouse steak, lamb chops, osso bucco, and flavorful cheeses, this Meritage turns any meal into a special occasion.
