Meritus Cabernet Sauvignon & Cabernet Franc Blend with Grape Skins- Winexpert Private Reserve
Meritus is a bold, Bordeaux-style red built from Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc fermented on real grape skins for extra structure and depth. Part of Winexpert's top-tier Private Reserve line, it pours full-bodied and dry with layers of plum, black currant, and red berry framed by warm spice, cedar, and a touch of dark chocolate. This is a wine worth waiting on — a cellar-worthy red that rewards patient aging.

3117LDMeritus is Winexpert's flagship Bordeaux-style red, and the Private Reserve line gives it the depth this classic blend deserves. Cabernet Sauvignon brings backbone and dark fruit while Cabernet Franc layers in bright red berry and a subtle herbal lift — and because this kit ferments on real crushed grape skins, you get extra tannin, color, and mouthfeel you simply can't fake. The result is a full-bodied, dry red with serious structure and the kind of complexity that keeps getting better in the bottle.
