A blend of 78% Sauvignon Blanc and 22% Sémillon that really defines the white Meritage approach. Sauvignon’s lemony, herbal personality meshes perfectly with Sémillon’s fig flavors and fatness. New oak—and what seems like lees contact—provide sweetness, vanilla and a lush, creamy mouthfeel. —S.H.

A stunning wine with deep black-cherry, plum and blackberry fruit. There are hints of licorice and chocolate in the center, and the fruit grows more intense. The finish is long and elegant, with layers of flavors.

Dense and tannic, with lots of blackcurrant and cherry flavors and elaborate oak. Acids and tannins help it to achieve a certain complexity. Notable for its smooth structure. It’s best consumed soon, with a good steak.

This wine opens with ripe cherry fruit on the nose, leading to a fairly concentrated center with brambly black-plum fruit and hints of chocolate and allspice.

A sound, unoaked Sauvignon Blanc that would earn a higher score if it weren’t so sweet. Shows jellied flavors of citrus fruits, peaches, honeysuckle and apricots, with crisp acidity.

Starts off with a somewhat yeasty aroma that later reveals lemon, pear and grapefruit on the palate. Squeaky clean on the finish.

Nice and smooth, this Merlot is for early drinking. It’s as plump as can be in cherries, cocoa, cola and tobacco, with soft acids and even softer tannins.

Like most Chards these days, this wine is boldly flavored, oaky and rich. But it goes beyond the tropical fruits, vanilla and buttercream to achieve real finesse and elegance. The crisp acidity helps make it balanced.
