2014 Brecon Meritage
A true Meritage and somewhat unusually lead by Malbec, but only just, as the three main varietals are effectively proportioned a third, a third, a third (Try it with an Irish accent). 32.5% Malbec from La Vista, 31.45 Cabernet Sauvignon from Brecon, 28% Petit Verdot. Live Oak. The eagle eyed amongst you will spot this does not quite add up to 100%. The balance is all Estate Cab Franc.
