As part of my effort to support my favorite independent wineries during the "shelter in place" period, I ordered a delivery from Shadow Springs Vineyard. Shadow Springs and it's sister winery Windsor Run Cellars are located in the southwest corner of the Yadkin Valley, within the Swan Creek sub-AVA. There are 7 wineries located within this small area with more to come. The other wineries/vineyards in Swan Creek are Dobbins Creek, Laurel Gray, Midnight Magdalena, Piccione and Raffaldini.
Shadow Springs Vineyards Meritage is a 2014 vintage wine made from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, aged for almost 24 months in oak. The wine is labeled as "Yadkin Valley" so not all of the grapes are from Swan Creek AVA.
There is a inviting aroma of blueberry and blackberry in the glass. The flavors are a complex combination of dark cherry, blackberry, cola, spice and tannins. This is one of the best red blends I have encountered from a North Carolina winery.
Shadow Springs, during the pandemic, is offering free shipping and a 5% discount on a purchase of 6 wines. If you live close enough to pick the wine up, you can get a 10% discount.
SC Wine Joe rating = 90 points
