2019 Ramey Claret, North Coast, California (750ml)
Notes from Ramey~ "The 2019 Claret rested on its lees eighteen months in 20% new French & American oak barrels with monthly bâtonnage to coat the tannins, producing a luscious, cushioned mouthfeel. This wine was lightly fined with egg whites and bottled without filtration in June 2021.
Our Claret follows the Bordelaise model of blending different Bordeaux varietals: The 2019 vintage is comprised of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, 9% Malbec, 8% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc
Dark garnet in color with nose of dark berry, spice and tobacco. The dark berry fills on the palate with cola and touch of chocolate bringing a full finish."d
