2013 Brecon Meritage
An unusually Malbec centric Meritage. So rarely is such a blend built around Malbec. However, this particular hilltop Malbec had such wonderful bright fruit intensity and naturally balancing acidity that it was clearly the basis of something special. 35.6% La Vista, Malbec. 28.75% Russell, Petit Verdot. 23.75% Brecon, Cabernet Sauvignon. 11.9% Brecon, Cabernet Franc.
