Trump Meritage Red Blend

Trump Meritage is a classic Bordeaux-style red blend from Virginia, showcasing Monticello AVA fruit with polished oak and supple tannins. Expect ripe dark berries, plum, and cherry layered with cedar, cocoa, and baking spice—balanced acidity and a long, elegant finish. (ABV varies by vintage; see label.)

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Blackberry, black cherry, plum, violet, cedar, hint of cocoa.

• Palate: Juicy dark fruit, red-currant lift, vanilla oak, touches of mocha and baking spice; medium to full body with fine tannins.

• Finish: Smooth, lingering blackberry and spice with a gentle oak echo.

Why It’s Special

• Meritage tradition: Typically blends Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Malbec (varies by vintage).

• Monticello terroir: Cool nights and rolling foothills deliver freshness and structure.

• Versatile at table: Polished enough for sipping; structured for food.

How to Enjoy

• Serve: 60–65°F; decant 30–45 min for aromatic lift.

• Glassware: Bordeaux bowl to emphasize fruit and spice.

Food Pairings
Grilled ribeye, roast lamb with herbs, mushroom risotto, sharp cheddar, and dark-chocolate truffles.
