A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This btl was gifted to me last week by Jane Young, exec dir of the Meritage Alliance. Though it fits the definition of a Meritage, it is not labeled as such. This effort (pure Cru Wines) is a new partnership effort of Mitch Cosentino. I gather he will eventually get his name back after selling his eponymous CosentinoWnry.
I was quite taken by this wine and thought it reminded me of some of the Bedrock Semillons.
