Ripe red plums, coffee and fresh herbs make for a sumptuous nose on this dry, full-bodied Bordeaux-style blend. It’s rather straightforward in style, but there’s a good concentration of red fruit flavors, brisk acidity and sturdy tannins that linger on the palate.——A.I.(7/1/2011)—— 84

This medium-bodied Bordeaux blend features deep spice, pepper and red cherry flavors. It’s a soft wine with gentle tannins and a subtle overall character.——S.K.(12/1/2007)—— 82

This Meritage is a blend of 75% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Malbec. Cherry, toasted spice, tobacco and sweet vanilla notes are followed by a robust mingling of chocolate, raspberry and deep berry flavors on the palate. The finish is soft but the wine is a bit tannic right now—it needs aging. Overall, an impressive wine from a consistently good producer. ——S.K.(5/1/2007)—— 84

Despite being 66% Merlot, this wine isn't some soft, easy-drinking quaff. It's firmly structured and a bit lean, with shadings of tart red fruit, tobacco and vanilla.——J.C.(10/2/2004)—— 85

A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc and 4% Malbec, this top-end offering from Macari boasts bold aromas of weedy cassis tempered with toast and chocolate. Will be considered overly green by some, pleasantly herbal by others, but no one will deny its lush mouthfeel and appealingly peppery finish. ——J.C.(4/1/2001)—— 87
