Meritage Blend

Matriach

A wine that can be enjoyed now, but is still growing in the bottle, this is the latest wave in our Meritage lineup. Comprised of all-Loudoun fruit including our own grapes and grapes from neighboring vineyards, it's a further polish of our popular annual red blend. Tasting notes of cherry, green pepper, strawberry, and wet herbs. Aged 14 months in new and old French Oak.
