The 2019 Claret North Coast Red Wine is a killer value, with great lift and freshness throughout. Made from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, and the rest Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, the majority of the fruit was sourced from Jericho Canyon. Pouring a youthful purple/red, it is lifted with aromas of graphite, fresh black cherry, cedar, and pine needles. Full-bodied but lifted, it offers ripe tannins, fresh acidity, and notes of fresh red and black fruit, pressed flowers, and turned soil earthiness on the finish. It's drinking well now but is certainly worth cellaring over the next 10 or more years. It's a great value.

A reserved style, with savory and menthol flashes leading a fresh, rounded cherry preserves core along. The supple finish reveals a worn cedar note. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2028. 6,993 cases made.
