2013 Meritage
From Arbor Bench website:
Classically styled, our 2013 Meritage is a blend of 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 32% Malbec. Each variety gives nuance and influence, from the deep crimson color and black cherry fruit of the Cabernet plus soft tannins and savory thyme and cinnamon notes of Merlot along with the juicy, spicy peppercorn notes of Malbec. An elegant wine that begs for a standing rib roast or roasted vegetable tagine.

Review from Wine Enthusiast Magazine
Arbor Bench Vineyards 2013 Estate Meritage (Dry Creek Valley)
From equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, as well as 32% Malbec, this is a slightly reduced expression of earthy black tea, black currant, toasted oak and sizable tannin. Full bodied, it shows the concentration and density of the vintage. Virginie Boone
