Claret Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Dinner pairing 2, Christmas 2019
Lot of body, drier

4/5 aroma soft earth rich berry. 3.5/5 flavor boom nice flavor and fruit. ‘I’d pair with food and be a happy camper’ $35 not sure if it’s worth the price tag.

First thing that jumped out was the color- not inky purple- appropriate ‘claret’ color. Nice grip and complexity with none of the Cali sweetness. Definitely from California but could pass as a ripe left bank rouge.

I would drink this any night. It's a nearly perfect unremarkable cab. It's solid but not special. I wouldn't feel the least bit bad with a case or two.

Awesome, drank at Cadet in Napa

Classic french style. A Bordeaux with a bit of syrah. Cab, merlot - a true claret. Pairs with ribeye, flat iron steak, beef shank pie. Easy drinking blends & blends are hot right now even tho the French have been at it for hundreds of years.

Gift from Chris and Jessica

Love this blend! Well balanced wine. Great finish. No harsh edges with black fruit nuances. With Anderson's at Pig and Pickle!
