Meritage - Bordeaux Blend - Fennville, MI - 14
 
The Meritage Blend from Fenn Valley contains their Cabernet Franc, and infrequently it is bottled as a single varietal. The flavor profile is fantastic: striking acidity, a fine tannin and blush fruit flavors indicative of raspberry and rose pedal and pencil shavings. When blended into the Meritage it acts similar to Petit Verdot, and presents nice gunflint and herbaceous character to compliment the softness of the Merlot and harsh tannin of the Cabernet. Overall a very nice, drinkable blend.
