Mitch Cosentino has the distinction of being our best selling winemaker of all time. We’ve sold more wines that were made by Mitch than any other winemaker. Today’s pureCru Wines 2009 M. Coz Napa Valley Meritage is Mitch’s flagship luxury wine. If you are looking to impress (and be impressed), this is one wine that you should pick up. Even though we have included ground shipping on 3+ bottles, we really recommend that you keep more on hand for your most special occasions.
This very delicious wine is very elegant, with a silky mouthfeel, aromatics that will have you taking big inhalations long before you take your first sip. Once you sip the wine, you’ll really see what all the fuss is about. Yes, the wine is that superb!
You’ll enjoy lofty and intriguing aromas of blackberry, Bing cherry, blueberry reduction, cassis, sweetwood, dusty bramble, cigar box and sweet spice. On the palate, marvel at rich, layered flavors of dark mixed berry fruit that sit atop bramble, dried leaves, cigar box, stewed plum, lightly toasted oak, spice and black pepper.
This wine is very highly recommended!
