Arrowhead Spring Vineyards Meritage Arrowhead Red 2014

Arrowhead Red is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot aged in oak barrels for 23 months. This robust and jammy wine pairs well with hearty dishes, like pasta and pizza. Blending varietals allows the winemaker to highlight the best each has to offer in a blend that is greater than any of its components.

Arrowhead Spring Vineyards Arrowhead Red Meritage begins with a very nice, fragrant, complex aroma of black cherry, plum, a little raisin and a hint of dark chocolate and vanilla. Tasting the wine reveals lots of luscious jammy fruit, a silky smooth texture, fine tannins and good acidity. The jammy fruit is balanced nicely by sweet oak notes, vanilla and a bit of black pepper. It ends with surprising length.
