Sterling Vintner's Collection Meritage 2018 / 750 ml.

Item#: 69869

WE8888 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/1/2020
This full-bodied concentrated wine made mostly from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon shows some wet-rock minerality in the aroma as well as rich red- and black-fruit flavors and supports them with a lightly tannic texture.
WS8888 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 12/20
A blend of all five Bordeaux varieties but dominated by merlot, this starts off thick and chewy when first poured. With air, the merlot takes center stage, streamlined and red-fruited; for charcuterie.
SP8787 pts. - Wine Spectator - Nov 30, 2020
Juicy, with details of hot stone to the dried cherry and berry flavors, which feature accents of savory herbs. The fresh finish ends on a ripe note. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Drink now. 121,850 cases made.

Where It's From

Region / California

View more wines from California

When it comes to US wine production, California is King. California wines account for almost 90% of all wines produced in the United States each year, and is home to the most celebrated vineyards and producers in the country. California is probably best known for its world-famous Cabernets and Chardonnays, many of which hail from its two most-acclaimed AVAs, Napa Valley and Sonoma County. Other prominent grapes used in California wines include Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and Zinfandel (which California made popular).

Country / United States

View more wines from United States

The United States now ranks fourth in the world in wine production behind, France, Italy, and Spain. While about 90% of that wine is produced in California, other states like Oregon, New York, and Washington are establishing themselves as prime spots for wine production, as well. Just about any variety of wine can be found in production somewhere in the United States.

JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, November 4, 2021
Dark plums, mulberries, cloves and earthy undertones. It’s full-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Full and fruity with structure and freshness on the palate. Long finish. Very polished. Drink in 2023.
SP9393 pts. - Wine Spectator - Feb 28, 2023
Ripe but fresh, this lets alluring boysenberry and mulberry notes stretch out slowly, with a mix of singed apple wood and anise playing a supporting role. Reveals light bramble and violet hints that peek in on the well-fruited finish. Shows good embedded energy. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2023 through 2035. 810 cases made.

Bold, toasted-oak aromas, generous black-fruit flavors and a firm structure make this full-bodied wine grippy and satisfying to sip. A smoky, flinty nose leads to black cherry and dark-chocolate flavors. (Jim Gordon)

Notes of freshly crushed green herbs wrap around a lively mix of red fruit and dark berry flavors, backed by taut tannins. Plush and juicy on the spicy finish. Drink now through 2023. 20,000 cases made. (Kim Marcus)
RP8888 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 13th Aug 2020
The 2017 Merlot is a blend of 86% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petite Sirah and 5% other reds. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it comes sashaying out of the glass with pretty notes of baked plums, Black Forest cake and menthol plus nuances of chocolate box, bouquet garni and fragrant soil. Medium-bodied, the palate is soft, juicy and approachable with plenty of spicy sparks and a gentle finish. 350 cases were made. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown)
