The term "Meritage" (pronounced like "heritage") is a combination of the words "merit" and "heritage". Today Lyeth continues the tradition of blending family and tradition in its wines. The Cabernet Sauvignon was chosen because it is one of the most important components used in creating the Meritage blend upon which Lyeth has built its success. The wine allows Lyeth to showcase this varietal in a way that reveals the individual qualities it contributes. The tannins and strength of this Cabernet Sauvignon are what give our signature Lyeth Meritage its structure.
