| Description: | Wine maker notes Driven by the Petite Sirah and supported by Merlot, this blend utilizes two classic Bordeaux varietals of the five varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Merlot) that were the inspiration for the Meritage wines of California. In the glass, this Lyeth California Red Wine has a ruby-plum hue and offers aromas of black cherry, toasted hazelnuts and preserves with hints of cocoa and molasses. Producer Established by Chip Lyeth in 1981, Lyeth was one of the first wineries in California to pursue the unique complexity and composition achieved by the marriage of Cabernet Sauvignon with the other major Bordeaux varieties, now known as the Meritage style. The term "Meritage" (prounouced like "heritage") is a combination of the words "merit" and "heritage". Lyeth became a founding member of the Meritage Association in1988, which created the Meritage concept as a means of identifying blends produced in the Bordeaux style. Today it continues the tradition of blending family and tradition in its wines, winning praise from critics and consumers worldwide. |
