NOTES:  Llano Signature Red Meritage has the distinction of being the first non-California wine to have been accepted into the prestigious American Meritage Association.  A subtle blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, this wine has been aged in our 59-gallon American oak barrels for 11 months.   Signature Red Meritage is intended to be a high value wine for those of us that appreciate wines made in the Bordeaux tradition. 

We believe that wine is a healthful addition to a meal or on its own.  This is a soft, lush medium bodied red wine that's perfect for your next social event.  Its' flavors complement a broad range of foods from Tex-Mex, Southwestern cuisine, pork tenderloin, to grilled steaks.  Enjoy some tonight.
