Sangiovese is a red wine grape variety originating in Tuscany where it was known by the 16th century. It is most famous as the main component of the Chianti blend in Tuscany. Young sangiovese has fresh fruity flavors of strawberry and a little spiciness, but it readily takes on oaky, even tarry, flavors when aged in barrels. Italian immigrants brought Sangiovese to California in the late 1800s and lately there has been renewed interest in the grape.

What is in Meritage?
First off, this can't be a mass-marketed wine. The release of Meritage must be under 25,000 cases. It has to be a "high-end" wine for the winery - it can't be their bargain basement offering. And finally, it has to be a blend of certain grapes.
