Winemaker Notes

The 2001 Meritage is a big, rich wine, with black cherry and cassis aromas from the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Merlot. The Cabernet Franc adds a nice level of mint, and helps add weight to the front and mid palate. The wine is rounded out with well-integrated vanilla, chocolate, coconut, and clove flavors. The tannin, most of which are delivered by the Cabernet Sauvignon, are greatly aided by the Petite Verdot, creating a rich, yet subtle and smooth wine. Combining these tannins with the acid will allow the wine to age for many years.

"A beautiful example of how nice Livermore Bordeaux reds can be when made well. This ageworthy wine is quite tannic now, but the tannins are dried, fine and drinkable with rich meats. The cassis, plum and blackberry flavors are impressively deep and long-lasting on the finish." Wine Enthusiast November 2003

2019 marks acclaimed winemaker, Robbie Meyer’s 23rd vintage. In this time, he has received over 100 90+ point ratings for wines from the Livermore Valley, Napa Valley, Santa Barbara and Sonoma County. At Murrieta’s Well, Robbie focuses on creating wines of elegance and balance that tell the story of their estate. With a patient and open-minded approach to winemaking, Robbie tells a story worth listening to glass after glass.
