Retail Price: $35.00
Notes from the Winemaker: As has become tradition, Laurie kept all of the lots separate during vinification and aging so that the subtle differences of each individual lot of the vineyard are exhibited. She tasted the lots frequently, closely monitoring fermentations and ensuring a rich, garnet color and silky tannins. The wines were then aged in small French oak barrels (27% new) for 15 months and underwent malolactic fermentation. Laurie’s careful monitoring and then blending of each of these lots from harvest to bottle results in a unique wine with each vintage. The 2008 Meritage has aromas of baked cherry and plums, candied violets and cinnamon. It is marked by a ripe, generous palette of plum spices and mocha, rounded out by a lush, lingering finish
