Tasting Notes

Bright, mid-ruby red, the nose shows the plum and spice of Merlot along with the black currant, mint and cedar of Cabernet Sauvignon. This very elegant Bordeaux blend manages to balance the fresh, juicy fruits and firm, mouth-watering tannins that you would expect to see in this style. The velvety tannins and crisp acidity gives this wine a long, clean refreshing finish.

Suggested Pairings

This claret-style wine would pair well with charcuterie, especially pate. Grilled or seared red meats like steak frites with haricot verts would complement well, or just drink it with simple goat cheese or brie.
