David Arthur Meritaggio 2014

This blends 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese, 8% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Pretty and inviting, it's bright and grippy, highly enjoyable in its fleshy mix of strawberry and mocha, with deliciously good structure.

A little reductive on the nose with tile, plum and earth aromas that follow through to a full body with black pepper, dried fruit and a lightly jammy finish. A little rustic but fun. Made from most cabernet with a quarter sangiovese and cabernet franc. Touch of petit verdot.
