Meritage, a combination of the words merit and heritage (pronounced to rhyme with "heritage" rather than "garage"), is a name used by members of the Meritage Alliance meaning an American-made blend of Bordeaux varietals. At Wagner Vineyards, we only bottle Meritage in exceptional vintages. This fruit-forward, oak-aged red features rich flavors, depth, and balance. Full of ripe berry and black cherry with soft tannins and hints of dark chocolate all in beautiful harmony!

Cellaring
From Ken Braun of Naperville, Illinois on .
We bought two to cellar, as this wine's description suggests! So we eagerly wait for New Years eve in 2023 and 2024!
Outstanding
From Mark Fusco of STATEN ISLAND, New York on .
A great alternative to French Bordeaux. The berry and acidity of the Cabernet Franc clearly dominate, with Sauvignon and Merlot muted, but definitely there. An extremely well structured and balanced wine. One which could easily become a favorite.
One of My Favorites
From Roger Haskin of Stanwood, Washington on .
This wine is one of my all-time favorites. Any time I am in NY I make sure that I go by and pick up a few bottles.
A Nice Surprise
From Steve Harshman of Knoxville, Maryland on .
I always preferred white wines from the Finger Lakes however this red blend has made me rethink my preferences.
Highly Recommended

2016 Meritage
From Chuck Lincoln of Liverpool, New York on .
The wine is excellent! A great example of what the Finger Lakes can do with a good, ripe crop of red grapes. Rich aroma, smooth, medium body, great mouthfeel, nice lingering fruit. I would highly recommend this as truly representative of a top Finger Lakes red. My kudos to Ann and the winemaking team (is John still there too?). Bill would be proud!
Highly recommended
From Tricia Thurrell of Wake Forest, North Carolina on .
We had this wine with our filet roast and it was wonderful!! The roast was too! I don't know enough about wine to be more descriptive than it was wonderful and I would order again.
