Napa Valley Claret

Napa Valley Claret Wine Details
Price: $44.00 per bottle

Description: 2001 is a very ripe, not over-ripe vintage. Fruit flavors are darker than usual; with black berry and black cherry as well as plum. It has a very soft attack. The Cabernet predominates showing the tobacco, chocolate, licorice of White Rock’s white volcanic soils, and the cedar and coffee aromas of good French oak. All of this on an earthy base with the complexity of the Cab Franc’s violets and the Petit Verdot’s gamey and briary aromas. Right now the Merlot has not shown its fat yet. This vintage delivers dark deep fruit and an extraordinary complexity
