This "Right Bank" style bordeaux blend is such a flirt! The regal violet hue has an aromatic bouquet of crushed raspberry, dried sage, and wild violets. On the palate, the plush Merlot creates a luxurious, velvety mouthfeel layered with black cherry and sandalwood. Cabernet Franc adds the elegant lift, while Petit Verdot provides a sophisticated structural depth. The experience concludes with a touch of slate-like minerality and a polished, cocoa-dusted finish that is both powerful and remarkably graceful.
This Meritage demands a table of equal character. The Merlot’s plush texture finds its match in pan-seared duck breast topped with a dark cherry reduction, while the Cabernet Franc’s herbal lift elevates a wild mushroom risotto infused with fresh thyme. For a savory finish, the Petit Verdot’s structural depth and cocoa-dusted tannins pair beautifully with aged Manchego or a peppercorn-crusted beef tenderloin, creating a sophisticated balance of fruit, earth, and spice.
