WINEMAKER NOTES
In 2013 we continued the tradition of producing a top-class Claret for your everyday enjoyment. This exciting red blend consists of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. A long and warm growing season in 2013 delivered ripe and intense fruit at harvest and allowed for the wines to express great character in the cellar. Beautiful fruit continued to shine through out barrel aging and the most expressive barrels from each lot were selected for this blend.
Our Claret is vibrant and fruit-forward and shows prominent notes of raspberry, cherry and rhubarb on the nose. You will also notice a distinct mineral quality, along with hints of ripe plum, tobacco leaf and cocoa, contributing to the complex aroma.
