Rich and well-spiced, with plush, mocha-infused flavors of dark plum and blackberry that are framed by firm tannins. Creamy on the finish, showing hints of black olive. Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon.

This old-school blend of Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon shows ample body and flavor in its unfussy approach to succulent red fruit and subdued tannin. Moderate in build, it has dusty acidity and a soft finish that will please a wide range of palates.

The 2014 Claret gives a medium to deep garnet color and nose of baked black berries and plums with hints of charcoal, menthol and cinnamon stick. Medium to full-bodied, it delivers great fruit intensity and soft, approachable tannins with good length and plenty of freshness.

Round and supple, with just enough complexity to stay interesting, offering notes of red currant, tomato leaf and spicy cedar. Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.
