 California
Our signature white Meritage is a crisp blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon that is partially fermented is French Oak barrels.
In the nose this wine shows aromas of minerals, melon, honeysuckle, and fresh finely chopped parsley. Bright and balanced, with centered flavors of melon and baking spices that lead into rich layers of citrus with the emphasis on Indian River grapefruit. |

| Tasting Notes: | Fresh lemon blossom, honeydew melon and baked quince raise the curtain on this highly aromatic wine.

Honey, blood orange, brioche and candied lemon peel meld in the zesty and expansive finish. |
