2021 Reserve Claret
Much of the elegance of our 2021 Reserve Claret is due to the balanced tension between our most intensely flavored merlot and the intriguing depth lent by our Rock Arch clone of cabernet. The merlot brings enticing aromas of violet, mulberry, and sage, while not to be outdone, the cabernet adds pretty notes of dark chocolate, sweet tobacco and Earl Grey tea. On the first sip, the merlot makes itself known with its bright freshness before relenting in the midpalate to rich and velvety tannins from the cabernet. Our Clarets are consistently some of the most delightful wines we make, both at release and with bottle age.
