The McDonald Family Estate proudly presents our
first vintage:a 2007 Meritage red wine! Our Meritage is aptly named COR SANARE, which is Latin for
"to heal the heart"... not only
are we, the owners, both doctors specializing in the heart (Jerry is a cardiothoracic surgeon and Susan is a cardiac anesthesiologist),
but proceeds for each bottle sold will go to the American Heart
Association's Go Red for Women campaign. Our Meritage
is a red wine blend of the five noble varietals of a Bordeaux-style wine. The 2007 vintage is a blend of 50% cabernet
sauvignon, 35% merlot, and 5% each of petit verdot, malbec and cabernet franc. The grapes were hand-harvested from our
vineyard. The wine was aged for nearly two years in oak barrels, including over one-third in new French oak barrels,
and additional 8 months in the bottle before release. The wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for years. Our 2007 Meritage wins a Silver
Medal at the 30th Annual San Fransisco International Wine Competition!
