2015 Sterling Vintner’s Collection Meritage

sterling-vintners-collection-meritage From the winemaker – “A ‘whole greater than the sum of its parts,’ the Meritage is the result of the special synergy that is formed when everything comes together perfectly – in this case: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Layers of dark fruit, cassis, leather and rich earth weave together to create a complex and juicy wine. Ripe tannins and oak aging lend depth and texture, highlighted by vanilla and mocha spice.”

Balanced flavors and a long, lifted finish make this a perfect wine to enjoy with food. Pair with anything from herb-roasted chicken to grilled steaks and hearty pastas.

This great Bordeaux-style Maritage is made up of 33% Merlot, 33% Cabernet, and 33% Petit Verdot.

From the Wine Maker – “Our Meritage is deep ruby-red in the glass, with aromas of black currant and cassis. This seductive wine is lusciously textured with a myriad of black and purple fruit delivering a smooth, elegant finish.”

Pairs well with meats such as roast beef, steak, steak prepared with dark and hearty sauces or red wine sauces, beef stew, short ribs, and Beef Wellington or hard nutty cheeses like Parmeggiano Reggiano, Asiago, Manchego, Cheddar, Edam, Swiss and Gouda.
