Meritage Vinas del Sol 1999

Winemaker notes 1999 Nichols Meritage; Vinas del Sol Vineyard, San Miguel, CA, Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon 29%, Merlot 50%, Cabernet Franc 21%   Winemaker notes This Meritage (Bordeaux Blend) reveals lots of fruit. Velvet is the mouth feel you experience. Ripe cherry, currant, plum, strawberry, blueberry and wild berries are unveiled on the palate. It is delightful integrated with hints of caramel, smoke, and toast wrapping around the fruit. It is complex, rich, and has fruit that is extremely well balanced.
