Winexpert Private Reserve - Meritus (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot) Lodi, California

Meritus is a New World wine made from traditional Bordeaux varieties. This premium Bordeaux-style/Meritage-style blend is born in California soil and crafted with the care and precision such heritage deserves, delivering the same plum, black currant, and red berry flavours with nuanced spice and chocolate on a rich, full body.

Bordeaux-style blends from New World grapes are often known as Meritage, a term coined in the 1980s by California winemakers seeking a name for their tradition-bending blends.  Today, Meritage wines are celebrated as some of the finest in New World winemaking, and Meritus is crafted in their spirit.

Lodi's Mediterranean climate make it ideal for growing Bordeaux varieties.  Grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot ripen fully while retaining balance and structure, producing high-quality wines.

Meritus is a Latin word meaning 'deserving of praise' and reflects the wine's timeless quality, prestige, and craftsmanship.  A wine of merit, crafted to honour both tradition and terroir.
