2022
Meritage
Middleburg AVA · Bordeaux-Inspired Blend · Cabernet Franc 10% · Cabernet Sauvignon 15% · Merlot 35% · Petit Verdot 40%
2022 was a bountiful harvest, delivering a slightly higher yield per acre alongside solid, well-structured fruit across all varieties. A generous season that gave the winemaking team plenty of exceptional material to work with.
Each variety was harvested and fermented separately to preserve its individual character before blending. The goal, as always with the Meritage, is to build layers and complexity so the wine reveals something different with every sip, new flavors, new aromas, and a texture that evolves as it opens in the glass. The finished blend was aged in 75% French and 25% American oak before bottling in June 2024. Still young at release, this wine will fill out beautifully through 2030 to 2032.
