WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
This Cabernet blend is a good introduction to the vintage. More approachable young than a varietal Cabernet, the Claret benefits from its broader assemblage – and will still age for a decade or more.
Blend: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, 9% Malbec, 8% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc
TASTING NOTES:
The 2019 Claret is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, 9% Malbec, 8% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. It’s scented of Luxardo cherries and blueberries with detailed nuances of violet, tobacco leaves, pencil shavings and spice. The full-bodied palate is smooth and refreshing with ripe yet understated fruit and a long, elegant finish. Rating: 94+
