William Heritage Winery, Estate Reserve BDX 2017, Outer Coastal Plain, New Jersey

Tasting Note: Only made during the best vintages, the Bordeaux-inspired red blend brings together the signature grapes in a cooler-weather style.

Medium-intensity ruby in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of red plum, red cherry, strawberry and blossom.

On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied red blend has medium-plus-intensity, red-fruit flavors suggested on the nose along with a touch of vanilla.

The wine is medium in acidity with grippy, medium-plus tannin.

Bottle Note: 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Cabernet Franc, 24% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot. William & Penni Heritage Proprietors. Six generations of family growers. William H. Heritage. Penni L. Heritage. Sean Comninos, Winemaker.
