Product Description: "Our prize offering, the ultra premium Claret, sports a label that honors the first Cabernet Sauvignon blended in a Bordeaux style by Gustave Niebaum in 1910. Claret is a term originally coined by the British to describe Cabernet-based wines. This Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc blend is alluring and sophisticated; it is memorably lush with a tapestry of smooth tannins and succulent flavors of wild berries, plum and anise. Borrowing tradition of European wineries, we add gold netting to bottle to signify outstanding quality of wine."
My Review: Had an aroma consisting of dark berries with hints of flower. Very smooth mouthfeel, strong tannins, with a slightly dry finish. Taste consisting of dark raspberry and cherry. I also got hints of an oaky and woody taste. Overall really enjoyed this bottle, and would recommend.
