| TASTING NOTE: \"Claret\" is another term for red Bordeaux and the wines they inspire. This one is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Merlot showing notes of cherry, blackberry, plum and cassis with a touch of flinty smoke. Nice depth and structure. Pour with slow-cooked mutton chops braised in red wine, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt and olive oil. (Vintages panel, May 2017) |
