Cameron Hughes Wine-Red Wine-Meritage-California-2009-$9.29-A nose of sweet dark fruit and spice, dark amber in color. A medium bodied red blend, with black currant, cassis, spice finish, nothing complex, decent value for under $10. NR CR-87 Good with meats, chicken, pasta.
Meritage is deep ruby-red in the glass, with aromas of black currant and cassis. This seductive wine is lusciously textured with a myriad of black and purple fruit delivering a smooth, elegant finish.
