Name: Outlander Meritage
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Malbec
Country: Paso Robles, California
Vintage: 2020
Price: $8
Critic Review: Lush aromas of black cherry, vanilla, kola nut and blackberry fudge pack
lots of action into this bottling. The palate confirms the complexity,
with blueberry and black cherry backed by pipe tobacco, dried marjoram
and a pencil lead-driven structure. -Wine Enthusiast
Wine Folly: pg. 88, 125, 131, 146 All of these grapes have the notes of cherry and plum which I was able to pick up on right away. I was also able to pick up on the vanilla notes that the Malbec contributed. The Petit Verdot was said to be a popular grape found in blends.
My Review: Good!! This meritage from Aldi was a solid wine for the price it was and I would definitely see myself purchasing it again! From the aromas I was able to get notes of blueberry, cherry, and vanilla. For the taste I really got berry and plum. The wine was warm from the alcohol, which was at 14.5% and it had a long finish to it. I think this wine would go great with meals, specifically some big red meats and I hope to try that combo in the future!!
I did not pair with any food!
