Meritus Cabernet Sauvignon & Cabernet Franc Blend with Grape Skins- Winexpert Private Reserve

Meritus is Winexpert's flagship Bordeaux-style red, and the Private Reserve line gives it the depth this classic blend deserves. Cabernet Sauvignon brings backbone and dark fruit while Cabernet Franc layers in bright red berry and a subtle herbal lift — and because this kit ferments on real crushed grape skins, you get extra tannin, color, and mouthfeel you simply can't fake. The result is a full-bodied, dry red with serious structure and the kind of complexity that keeps getting better in the bottle.
