NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Pollak Meritage is an exquisite wine that showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of the winemaker.This red blend is a harmonious combination of Bordeaux varietals, typically including Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The wine displays a deep ruby color, enticing aromas of black fruits, such as blackberry and black cherry, along with hints of cedar, tobacco, and vanilla. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied and velvety texture, with well-integrated tannins and a long, lingering finish. The Pollak Meritage is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully, allowing its flavors to further develop and evolve over time. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. Overall, this wine exemplifies the elegance and complexity that can be found in a well-crafted Meritage blend.

ORIGINS
Winery: Pollak
Region: Virginia
Virginia is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions of the United States. It is bordered by Maryland, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia to the south and west; Pennsylvania to the north; and Delaware to the east. With a long history of winemaking, Virginia is now one of the most exciting wine regions in the US.
Virginia has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the early 1600s when the first vines were planted by English settlers. The state was once home to the largest wine-producing region in the US, but Prohibition in the 1920s put an end to the industry. In the late 20th century, the industry began to revive, and today Virginia is home to over 300 wineries.CUSTOMER RATING
