We’re back with another great Insider Deal! This time we’re exploring a “Meritage” blend – basically a Bordeaux-style blend that isn’t allowed to use the Bordeaux name since it’s not from France.

Today’s deal features the delicious and easy drinking FiveWise Meritage Blend, a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 2% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot from the Central Coast of California. The wine is aged for 18 months in French (10% new) and American (20% new) oak and has just 1 g/L of residual sugar. 

This wine normally retails for $15 but through today’s Insider Deal you can pick up 4 bottles for just $45.99 plus only $5 for shipping, saving you $29 or 36% over the normal price with shipping.

This deal ships to the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, KS, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NM, NV, NY, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, VA, VT, WA, WV, WI, and WY.

This is a limited time, winery direct offer facilitated by our friends at Wine Country Connect. Sale ends Tuesday February 25 at noon (PST) unless it sells out sooner.

Now on the wine...

Insider Deal! FiveWise Meritage Blend - One Smart Pick

From the bottle:

Meaning: A Meritage (pronounced like "heritage") is a blend of at least two of the classic red varietals, with no one varietal making up more than 90%

Blend: We crafted FiveWise from all five of the noble red varieties to create a bold, complex wine.

Style: Full-bodied, rich and structured, with a long, silky finish.

13.5% Alcohol

The 2017 FiveWise Meritage Blend begins with an intriguing aroma of ripe berry fruit, vanilla and licorice with a hint of a pleasing woody, smoky, herbal note to it. Tasting the wine reveals this to be a pretty tasty blend with a little bit of everything. There's juicy berry fruit, cola, touches of spice and notes of vanilla and chocolate. It's got some really nice layers to explore and overall is very satisfying to drink. It ends dry, long and a bit grippy. This is one smart pick, especially at this low price! Get it while you can.
