Varietal: Meritage
Region: Virginia – USA
Cost: $18
Earthy aromas is a contrast to the mellow flavors of this red. The light red color belies the dryness of the wine, one that would pair well with red meats, strong cheeses, or red pasta sauces. As New Kent Winery is a new winery, this Meritage is a respectable offering.
Recommendation: Only available at the winery for now, if you’re there, this will be the wine to get. That being said, as Meritage’s go, this isn’t the best you can find in Virginia, especially for the price.
