Winemaker Bob Pepi Notes
The dark purple hues and the depth of aromas in this wine immediately speak of the strength of the 2014 harvest. In the nose, one is attracted by smells of
blackberries, spice, and pleasing earthy aromas. The lush, round entry on the palate leading to a well structured, full mouthfeel, ending with a long pleasing fi nish. Added notes of black cherry, ripe plums and nicely integrated oak make this Meritage a wine that can be enjoyed now but will reward the patient
consumer with the added complexity that will be gained with years of aging.
