Serve at the Right Temperature: Pour Meritage slightly below room temperature to emphasize its Bordeaux-style character, balancing full-bodied structure with layered fruit and oak complexity.
Use the Proper Wine Glass: Choose a large bordeaux glass for optimal aeration, a standard red wine glass for everyday drinking, or a universal glass for casual pours.
Let It Breathe Before Drinking: Let Meritage breathe 30–60 minutes to soften structured tannins and reveal blended complexity.
Sip and Savor the Blend: Take small sips to taste dark berry and spice, appreciate the Cabernet–Merlot balance, and enjoy Meritage’s age-worthy richness and structure.
