Meritage (USA) And Bordeaux Styled Red Wine

This is a work in progress for Mobile (Smart) phones as a quick reference. Meritage USA Bordeaux Styled Red Wine Explained helps to define what denotes a Meritage Red Wine.

Just my own note on the Meritage classification: Andrew Will Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Red Mountain 2007 Red Wine, Justin Vineyards Isosceles Paso Robles 2007 Red Wine, and Chalk Hill Estate 2007 Red Wine, for example, are USA Bordeaux Styled Red Wines that exceed the quality (In my humble opinion) of almost any wine I've tasted with the Meritage designation, but I see the use of the designation Meritage as a sure way to clearly label USA red wines as being Bordeaux styled without infringing on France's legal or otherwise considered right to the term Bordeaux, and nothing more. I'm sure others will disagree (At some point there is a cost to the Meritage designation) with that assessment. Please don't get overwrought over my opinion on this subject that is not what this cheat-sheet is about. Any more clarification can be researched by the readers.
