Signature Red Meritage

Signature Red Meritage Wine Details
Price: $11.00 per bottle

Description: In 2005, and now in 2006 we have deviated slightly from our established varietal composition of this blend. As a result the term Meritage has been removed temporarily from our label. By the addition of 7% Texas Sangiovese to our Meritage blend, we were able to correct a temporary wine shortage created by a light crop of Texas grapes. Our winemakers do not consider this as a compromise to wine quality because of the added texture and complexity the Sangiovese contributes to the blend. Our 2006 blend becomes Cabernet Sauvignon (63.2%) , Merlot (22.5%), Cabernet Franc(7.2%) and Sangiovese (7.0%). This wine has been aged in our 59-gallon oak barrels for 14-months.
