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.
