This dark red meritage (pronouced like heritage) from Spain has a nice body and can only be described as "ultra-dry" (ie, it will make you want a glass of water afterwards). The nose is a strange oaky-plumy beast and the wine is full of ripe black fruit (plums and dark berries) with hints of coffee and spice.

It is not a "meritage." It is a red blend. "Meritage" uses only Bordeaux grapes. Thanks for letting people know how to pronounce it.
Excellent catch there, and you are absolutely right.
