Cosentino Winery is renowned for creating the first designated and licensed Meritage wine, Bordeaux inspired blend that set the standard that others would follow in Napa Valley. THE Poet is cunningly energetic and bold, a Bordeaux-style Meritage red blend that reveals heady aromas of red cherry, dusty sage, blackberry and brioche on the nose. Ripe red and black fruits are accented on the palate with flavors of cocoa bean, baking spice and dried herbs de Provence. Firm tannins round out the well-structured palate, incorporating hints of minerality and oak spice on the lasting finish.
