King Family Vineyards Meritage 2016 Review
Virginia wine is coming along so well. The only set back is that most of it is only available on ecommerce. But damn if some are worth your time and money online. This is a wonderful, full bodied Bordeaux style blend with depth and aromas that will call to mind blackberries, cracked black pepper, and cassis. It’s just under 14% alcohol, which is a perfect environment for the wine to show it’s layers as it opened in the glass.
