Roustabout "Meritage" 2022 (Paso Robles)

 

Medium garnet hue with aromas of cherry pie crust, lots of fresh cherries, light cigar ash

Palate--Heftier first impression than expected with big fruity flavors of black cherry, very nice structure with surprisingly balanced tannins and acid with a palate cleansing freshness at the end. 

This "Meritage" (pronounced like "heritage") is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. The blend can differ.  I have never had an affinity for Meritage but I honestly LOVE this one especially at the $8 bargain basement price I paid.  

If you happen onto the is wine buy it and enjoy it!vI am pairing it with Cuban sandwiches and mac and cheese so raise a glass!
