The 2012 Meritaggio (54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc) offers a rich deep color and intense aromas of black cherry, chocolate, cherry pie and a touch of toffee and vanilla bean jump out of the glass. This medium to full-bodied wine offers gobs of lush and bright fruit on the palate that is well-balanced and polished with fine grained tannins that linger into a long and complex finish of tamrind, plum and a touch a minearlity. Gorgeous wine that will please everyone’s palate and pocketbook!
