Meritage 06
Meritage (pronounced like "heritage") was named by a group of American vintners to identify hand-crafted wines blended from the traditional "noble" Bordeaux varietals. Athena's 06 Meritage was made with a blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 15% Petit Verdot. The blend was aged in new French oak barrels from the forests of central France. The 12.7% alcohol content was chosen to preserve the elegance of this wine. The mellowness and soft tannins with hints of vanilla and chocolate make Athena's Meritage a perfect match for beef and game meats.

18% alcohol red wine made in the Portuguese style. Safe Harbor is a fortified Chambourcin wine vinted as in Portugal, but with a shorter barrel aging. The richness of the wine is complemented by blue cheese, nuts, dark chocolate, dried fruit, and especially by English Stilton cheese. This distinctive bottle is a type of caravel, a ship with two or three masts used by Europeans beginning in the 15th Century for long exploratory voyages. Caravels were used to bring the first English settlers to Jamestown, Virginia in 1607.
