"One of the first, and still one of the best, white Meritages, the wine is rich and complex. The dry flavors are of citrus fruits and grassy hay with richer notes of fig and melon. No oak at all, and good acidity provides freshness and brightness. There used to be Semillon in the blend, but for now, the wine is 100% Sauvignon Blanc."
