Ponderous, savoury, heft. Harry McWatters' namesake collection Meritage is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Cabernet Franc all from the Sundial Vineyard on Black Sage Bench in Oliver.
It dispenses ponderous aromas of char-grilled meat, smoked spices, black cherries, wild sage, tobacco and bittersweet chocolate with rich espresso notes. Smooth with supple tannins it is toasted and brooding, spicy and savoury with good heft.
Pair: Rich cuts of beef in red wine and porcini sauce, hearty stews or aged, firm cheeses.
