Meritage: Mehr-ih-tihj, pronounced like heritage.
It wasn't that long ago that many bottles of domestic wine were named Burgundy, Rhine, Chianti, or Chablis. In the late 1970s, instead of propagating the misnomer, some US producers started labeling their wines with the name of the grape used to make the wine. This was a good choice considering no one knew where Sonoma was back then and using the name "Hearty Burgundy" for a wine made from zinfandel made no sense. Since that time, consumers have become very comfortable shopping for Californian wines by grape name. In recent years, wine without the grape name on the label usually did poorly in the US market.
Ironically, during many years, the quality of the wine as a blend exceeds the quality of each grape's solitary flavor. In 1988 the Meritage Association was formed by a group of Californian wine growers, looking for a way to elevate the stature of blended wines. In order to be called a Meritage, a wine must use only permitted grape varieties. The grapes in a red Meritage are the standard five Bordeaux varietals; cabernet sauvignon, merlot, petit verdot, malbec, and cabernet franc, plus a few historic Bordeaux grapes such as Saint Macaire, gross verdot, and carmenere. The blend must be two or more permitted grape varieties, with no variety making up more than 90% of the blend.
Since Meritage is a registered trademark, some producers use the British term Claret to specify their Bordeaux blends, while others coin proprietary names for their blends. Regardless of what's on the label, these blends are known for making wines with longevity and as with European wines, the winemaker has the ability to create better balance and hopefully a touch of synergy.
