Description

Our flagship wine, the Meritage is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Merlot, all grown on our Estate Vineyard on Berenda Road. We are very proud of this delectable Bordeaux-style masterpiece! Flavors in the Baily Meritage differ a bit from the nose. Black plum, fig, dried cranberries, and blackberries are most notable — an indication of the wine’s maturity and fruit development. In addition, spice and oak flavors include black pepper, green olive, cedar, vanilla, nutmeg, and bittersweet chocolate. More subtly, charcoal, bread dough, leather, and wild game contribute savory characteristics. Finally, delicate herbal notes of pine, lavender, and fennel make up the finish. The Baily Meritage is dry, and at 13.5% ABV has medium alcohol. Everything else about this wine is medium-plus, from the acid level, to the tannins, the body, flavor intensity, and the finish — not too weak, but not too in-your-face.
