A great wine from a great vintage!
Nice dark fruit on the nose with some spice. Continues on the palate with some dried fruit and a hint of chocolate added plus soft tannins and medium length.
I'm getting scents of cranberry and spice through the alcohol-evident aroma. The texture is smooth with a juicy tannin that leads to a lingering spicy finish. Not the most sophisticated Meritage I’ve tried but may improve with a few years in the cellar. Tasted 06-Nov-2010 at the winery.
