Our Claret follows the Bordelaise model of blending different Bordeaux varietals. The 2019 vintage is comprised of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, 9% Malbec, 8% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. The 2019 Claret rested on its lees eighteen months in 20% new French & American oak barrels with monthly bâtonnage to coat the tannins, producing a luscious, cushioned mouthfeel. This wine was lightly fined with egg whites and bottled without filtration in June 2021.

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. It will be long lived in the cellar. 6,993 cases produced.

Smooth and mellow for a new release, this meaty and complex wine is drinkable now but will age as well. A full body, moderate tannins and an especially velvety texture give it a broad, comforting mouthfeel. Dark plums, some black pepper and roasted cherries expand on the palate. Made with 65% cabernet sauvignon, 10% syrah, and small portions of malbec, petit verdot, merlot and cabernet franc. Drink or hold.
