| 2000 Trinchero Family Estates Meritage Mario's Reserve Napa Valley, California WB Rating: 88 Alcohol by volume: 13.5% Price at time of purchase: $45.00 (from winery) Type: Cabernet / Bordeaux Principal varietal(s): 56% Cab, 19% Cabernet Franc, 18% Merlot, 7% Petite Verdot. Promising, saturated purple color. Blackberry, cherry, and smoky oak are displayed in a moderately intense format. Round in the mouth, with a clean, lingering finish and a significant level of chalky tannins. Opened up considerably with airing, and would undoubtedly be better with several more years of aging. - WB Team 2003-02-06 [Back] |
