Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of cassis leaf and musk, cheese rind, butter poached peach, and wet cloth with a round, bright, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, interesting, brisk finish displaying touches of lemon cream, wet timber, and yellow apple with a suggestion of oak flavor. Rich texture with easy going and approachable flavors and aromas.

Serve in a White Wine Glass
A White Meritage, like Red Meritage, is a proprietary name sanctioned by the Meritage Alliance, a group of like minded US wine producers who emulate the classic Bordeaux tradition of making wines from blends of class Bordeaux varietal grapes. In this case, white wines made from blends of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Muscadelle du Bordolais.
