Tasting - Bull Run Meritage









Name: The Winery of Bull Run
Variety: Meritage: 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Petit Verdot, 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc
Region: Virginia
Country: United States
Year: 2014
Price: $34.00











Shop Review: Rich and savory, well-focused and nicely proportioned, with savory herb, ripe dark berry, black licorice, cedar, espresso and tobacco flavors. Full-bodied, ending with a graceful mix of tiered flavors and texture. Drink now through 2020.


My Review: Meritage is apparently America's response to Bordeaux. Firm tannins, with strong flavors of dark berries, black currant. Also, had a very cool aroma of pine trees. Nice experience.

Tasted without food.
