Triumvirate, an ancient Roman term referring to three Emperors ruling together for balanced government, is a blend of three Bordeaux grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a classic “Meritage” and is a “right bank” Bordeaux style blend as it leads with Merlot. We call this one “The Snob” because it is made in the old-world style with a proper cork and all the acids and tannins in place to give it the bones to lie down in your cellar easily. This wine will only get smoother and more complex and is perfect for impressing the red wine lover on your list. Originally made in the years we could not make our five Bordeaux blend, Quintus, this wine has quickly become a staple in our portfolio because it’s just so darn good.
