Lib 2019 Meritage

**Please note: As this is a limited quantity wine, there is a maximum of 2 bottles per person allowed. ** Meritage, a combination of the words merit and heritage (pronounced to rhyme with "heritage" rather than "garage"), is a name used by members of the Meritage Alliance meaning an American-made blend of Bordeaux varietals. At Wagner Vineyards, we only bottle Meritage in exceptional vintages. This fruit-forward, oak-aged red features rich flavors, depth, and balance. Full of ripe berry and black cherry with soft tannins and hints of dark chocolate all in beautiful harmony!
