Nose
Aromas of ripe cherry and brown spice.
Palate
Rich and medium-bodied, this combines mouth-filling flavors of cherry and blackberry with notes of cinnamon, licorice and sweet herbs for a balanced and well-integrated taste. Linear acidity marries with succulent fruit flavors for a long, silky finish.
Winemaking
Fruit for our Louis M. Martini Meritage wine was harvested and sorted by hand before stewarding into tank using gravity-feeding techniques.
Aging
After gently handling the wine as individual barrel lots for up to 21 months, we assembled the blend and sent it back to barrel for a few additional months, allowing the flavors to integrate prior to bottling.
Appearance
A dark reddish-purple hue.
