Meritage

Warm and long, the 2011 growing season proved ideal for creating bold reds and the Redstone Meritage is no exception. Crafted from the highest quality hand-harvested fruit and aged 18 months in French oak, this premium blend was assembled from equal parts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from the Redstone estate vineyard and Cabernet Franc from the mature vines of the Van Bers vineyard. The nose is beautifully aromatic, redolent with notes of plum and berry compote but also intoxicating aromas of eucalyptus, sage and mint jelly. On the palate, it is broad and soft with fine tannins and notes of spice, coffee and a hint of cigar box.
