St. Francis Claret

Claret is the British-inspired term for an elegant red blend of classic Bordeaux varietals, in this case: Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a touch of Petit Verdot. This charismatic wine entices the nose with a brilliant spark of dried cranberry, underlined by savory cherry compote and a captivating forest musk. The palate opens with bright notes of cassis, sheathed in a rich body reminiscent of Medjool dates, carob, and cordials. The elevated acidity on the finish is glycerol keeping the final hints of fruit vivid as they diminish.
