Palate
This goblet full of deep dark rubies comes with a nosefull of deep dark fruit, ala poached plums, brambleberry
jam and black currants! Like a good bold Meritage
should be, the nose and palate of beautiful rich fruit in
our 2019 is braced by strong, muscular oaky tannins with
an almost-earthy, very umami, butter and beef broth
finish. This is a Meritage with staying power!
Serve this versatile, robust wine with brisket, venison,
fillet mignon, or roast lamb with garlic and rosemary.
Also try steak pies, ox cheek and other stews cooked in
red wine. Hard or sharp cheeses are also always a safe
bet.
