Overflowing with fruit, the 2022 Reserve Claret is everything we want to achieve with this wine.  The nose takes a distinct slant towards freshness with vibrant notes of raspberry and blackberry before veering toward darker tones of chocolate and blonde roasted coffee. This tension is balanced beautifully by a lush, full-bodied attack, with just a touch of iron and graphite.  Such richness fills out the substantial structure of this wine and balances its power. The tannins linger pleasantly and allow flavors of cedar and mint to unfold with time.
