Fort Berens Estate Winery Meritage 2010, Lillooet, British Columbia BC V.Q.A., Canada: A balanced, full-bodied red from a blend of 70% merlot, 25% cabernet sauvignon and 5% cabernet franc. It offers aromas of blackcurrant and cassis with some spice on the finish. The tannic grip is still strong so decant for 2 hours or try to give it another year in the cellar. This winery has a lot of potential. Drink: 2012-2016. 78113 14.50% M 750 mL  $26.99 Score: 88/100. June 22, 2012 Full Review
