Bowers Harbor Vineyards
Traverse City, Michigan, USA
Meritage Blend of: 60% Cabernet Franc, 39% Merlot, 1% Cab
Sauvignon
$60.00 a bottle
Appearance: Rich ruby red; kind of light looking for a big
Meritage – 60 bucks qualifies as ‘big’.
Aroma: nice berries, some red mixed with some dark berries,
very light spice
Flavors: little blackberry, black plum, black currant mixed
with a little tart cranberry and cherry; light earth,
Mouthfeel: light for a Meritage; thin in spots, lacks depth
and character;
My Strength Rating: 5 – medium at best
To the Point: for $60 … pass; there are plenty of 20 to 25
dollar wines out there that are much better.
I did like the 2007 2896 Langley and the 45 bucks then had me on the
edge but, I said yes it was worth it.
The 07 was far better than this one.
