Copeland Creek Vineyards Meritage |
2001 Meritage Sonoma Coast
The high altitude, steep slope and rocky, well-drained soil on top of Sonoma Mountain work together to create the distinctive terroir of our Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon in this classic Bordeaux blend. These conditions produce a low yield per acre with fewer bunches, smaller clusters and tiny berries. Once again proving that less is more, the result is a greater concentration of flavors—rich, ripe black cherry and soft tannins balanced by traditional French oak. This complex Meritage opens up beautifully in the glass and will age well in the bottle. Vintage 2001 44% Cabernet Franc, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot. |
