Meridian displays a deep ruby color with enticing aromas of ripe black cherry, blackberry, and plum, complemented by subtle notes of spice and vanilla from oak aging. On the palate, the wine offers a full-bodied and velvety texture, with concentrated flavors of dark fruit, cassis, and a hint of dark chocolate. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure and balance, while the acidity adds freshness and vibrancy. This wine is drinking beautifully now but also has the potential to age gracefully for several years.
