Wine Details
Price:
$45.00 per bottle
Description:
Once again our 2003 Meritage is Merlot based in the tradition of the great wines of Bordeaux, specifically of Pomerol. The Merlot grapes in our Geyserville Estate Alexander Valley vineyards thrive in the gravelly/sandy, well-drained soils and, year after year, show this varietals ability to produce complex, layered wines destined for aging and enjoying for many years to come. The wine is dark, viscous and complex, slowly revealing its richness with aeration. The opening is intense with ripe plums, Bing cherries followed by smoky, chocolaty aromas. Further aeration reveals pronounced aromas of leather, brown sugar, molasses and slightly herbal nuances. Obviously very young at the time of these notes, the mouth feel of this wine is nevertheless rich, robust and hearty created for longevity. The body is full with well-structured tannins and balanced acidity leading to a long, firm finish. Aging potential: five to ten years.
