Tasting Notes:
A bold and expressive red blend showcasing rich plum, black currant, and red berry flavours, layered with elegant spice, cedar, and subtle chocolate. Full-bodied and beautifully structured, Meritus offers depth, complexity, and a long, refined finish worthy of its Private Reserve status.
Region & Winemaking:
Meritus is crafted from traditional Bordeaux varietals grown in Lodi, California, a region celebrated for its Mediterranean climate and exceptional grape quality. Warm days and cooling delta breezes allow varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot to ripen fully while preserving balance and structure. This harmony of terroir and craftsmanship produces wines of remarkable character, power, and aging potential.
The name Meritus, meaning “deserving of praise,” reflects the prestige and timeless quality found in every bottle of this exceptional New World Meritage-style blend.
