Cosentino

California Meritage blends rated by Wine Advocate and Wine Enthusiast.

Cosentino produces Meritage blends across California that balance Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc into structured, age-worthy wines. The CE2V Meritage—a Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend—stands as the winery's highest-rated expression, earning recognition from Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate. The Legends Meritage follows, pairing Merlot with Cabernet Franc for a different textural profile. The M.Coz Meritage rounds out the portfolio, layering all three varietals into a more complex blend. Each wine reflects the winery's focus on Bordeaux-style compositions, where secondary grapes shape the final architecture as much as the lead varietal. Cosentino's commitment to the Meritage category—California's answer to left-bank Bordeaux—positions it within a tradition of blended reds that prioritize balance and depth over single-varietal dominance.
