Claret, just another name for Bordeaux. Cab, merlot, Syrah and Malbec mix. Great nose floral and the taste long and savory. Cool small batch winery with quality stuff.

Nice to see an old world term like Claret used with a New Word Napa wine. This wine is quality, it doesn't knock your socks off like a Beckstoffer or Howell Mountain but this wine is easy and enjoyable. Floral and fruity on the nose but a nice mid weight wine on the palate, balanced and enjoyable. Good value for the money!
