Brian Ager

A delicious Cab Franc and Sauvignon dominate Napa Valley Meritage which has aged nicely over the past decade, but nonetheless improved with a 30-45 minute decant. Begins with delightful nose of stewed red fruit, savory dried herbs like oregano, and hints of cigar box & black pepper.  On the palate the tannins have mellowed but are still present and there's a bright acidity along flavors strawberry, pepper, and leather on the finish.  A stellar pairing with 24 hour dry aged Filet Mignon! [5/11/23] ($42)
