The 2004 Meritage has aromas of blackberry, black licorice and violet. On the palate, juicy black cherry, along with cassis, espresso and pomegranate are well balanced with generous, round tannins. In a word, this wine is plush.
Wine Advocate While I was less impressed with the 2005 Vintner’s Reserve Zinfandel and 2004 Vintner’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, I did like the 2004 Vintner’s Reserve Meritage, a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc. The wine exhibits medium body and good black cherry fruit intermixed with some cedar and loamy, earthy notes. The wine is soft, medium-bodied, and a stylish Californian take on a good Bordeaux. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. Score: 87. —Robert Parker, December 2007.Customers who purchased this item also bought:
