Mission Codename Heritage Meritage
Our tasting panel went absolutely crazy for today’s 2010 Ashley’s Meritage from our great friends at Christopher Creek Winery. This Bordeaux varietal blend is a beautifully balanced wine that is bursting with juicy flavors and lush aromas.
We are very lucky to have such close ties with Christopher Creek. This gives us special access to some of their wines, including library wines or, as is the case with today’s wine, new releases.
Enjoy this complex but balanced wine all on its own - or with a wide variety of richer foods. Enjoy now, but be sure to lay a few bottles down for the next decade or more. You can bet that we’ll be stocking our cellars with this fantastic Meritage!
