2006. When my wife and I got married 30 years ago this week, we catered our small reception and bought a case of the 1987 Lyeth Meritage to serve. We liked it, and appreciated the reasonable price as we were just starting our first “real” jobs. My wife saw this bottle at a liquor store 10+ years ago and picked it up for sentimental reasons. This bottle was showing a little lightening of the rim but the aromas were bright cherry with no aged notes. A thinner body, but still had some smooth tannins on the finish. We really enjoyed it with a ribeye, mushrooms, and great memories!
