Meritage is a particular style of wine made by blending grapes. The wine can be made of any combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Gros Verdot, St. Macaire, or Carmenere. Meritage is made from the words “merit” and “heritage,” and is pronounced the same as “heritage.” No French accent required!
