2019 prospice Meravina

The 2019 Meravina is a pretty and dense garnet red in the glass, and the nose is complex–delicate sniffs will reveal some red-fruited brightness, while a deeper breath will reveal violets, cassis, orange peel, mocha, fig, tobacco, and lots of juicy dark fruits.  The palate opens with juicy red plum and currant, and broadens into an expansive midpalate with floral notes, anise, black plum, and espresso.  There’s enough tannin here to provide weight and structure, but it’s never aggressive, and the finish is long, and pleasing with subtle barrel hints (perhaps surprising given the very restrained oak profile).

This is a new offering for the winery. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot, the aromas offer notes of fresh, savory herb, flower, carob and dark cherry. The flavors are graceful, polished and fresh. It's a complete delight and exceptionally well priced.

Our name “Prospice,” from the Latin for “look to the future,” represents both our belief in the inherently optimistic and forward-looking nature of wine and winemaking and our respect for their deeply rooted traditions. The clean, modern lines of the Prospice name in our logo sit in counterpoint to the lower rendering of the same name in ancient Etruscan characters (read from right to left), signifying this dichotomy of future and past.
