2012 David Arthur Meritaggio
UNITED STATES / CALIFORNIA / NAPA
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 91
(a blend of 54% cabernet sauvignon, 28% sangiovese, 10% merlot, 5% petit verdot and 3% cabernet franc): Bright red-ruby. Musky aromas of sour cherry, plum, violet, licorice pastille and spices. Sweet and fresh, with dark berry, licorice and dark chocolate flavors nicely framed by sound, harmonious acidity. Finishes with firm, building tannins. This is quite lively for New World wine but should nonetheless drink well early. A major step up from the 2011.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: May/June 2014

Brothers David and Bob Long began planting their Pritchard Hill Estate property in 1978 and made their Cabernet Sauvignon debut eighteen years later with the spectacular 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon and Elevation 1147. Production of the flagship reds remains small. They produce a Super Tuscan blend called Meritaggiom as well as Sangiovese, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Bob Egelhoff has been winemaker for two decades.
