Crew Meritage 2007: Review


Colchester Ridge Estate Winery Inc. (CREW)
Harrow, Ontario, Canada
13.4% abv

Appearance: light crimson body with a crystal edge; this is going to be a lighter bodied Meritage in weight and flavor … I’ll bet

Aroma: nice berry on the nose … then not much else … a bit of tobacco

Flavors: plum, raspberry, red current, light dry green spice, little dusty earth

Mouthfeel: too thin on the delivery, little acidity on mid and finish, berry bowl on the finish but light in feel, mild-medium overall in body,

To the Point: I bought this a couple of years ago and had one bottle and to me it was on the thin side for a Meritage and thought a couple of years of aging might … just might help it a little … so I saved the other bottle.  I would have to say, it didn’t help.  If you like a lighter bodied red this will work for you.  If you know what you are drinking … this is not that impressive.  The berry flavor is nice and if you are eating a burger this bottle should do the trick then.
