title: Jefferson Vineyards 2012 Meritage (Virginia)
description: A blend of about 50% Petit Verdot mixed with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine shows ample breadth and concentration on the nose and palate. Aromas and flavors of ripe forest berries give way to dried hay and streaks of graphite. Silky upon entry, the midplalate is supported by sandy, soft tannins and a driving acid backbone.
variety: Meritage
