Signature Red Meritage Non Vintage 12.9% 0.64 (As Tartaric) 3.50 .04 23.9 Pasteur Red 85° Degrees F (Temp.) A combination of 11 months in 2 and 3 year old, 59 gallon barrels and stainless steel tank aging.

We are allowed to include "Meritage" to our Signature Red only when the blend consists of traditional Bordeaux varieties.  This particular blend is made up of four Bordeaux varieties:  52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 10.5 Cabernet Franc, and 6.5% Malbec.  We have introduced a small percentage of Malbec to the blend this year to enhance the color and structure.  We hope you are as pleased with the results as we were.

Aromatically, this wine is perfumed with hints of dried cherry fruit and plums.  In the mouth it is silky smooth with hints of vanilla-coffee bean and cocoa flavors complimented by a medium tannin structure.
