Tasting notes
The 2012 Red Blend Claret MF is superb today. There is tremendous energy in the flavors and textures. Pliant and expressive, the 2012 builds effortlessly, showing marvelous depth and pure resonance. Sweet floral and spiced overtones add nuance. This is another 2012 that appears poised to deliver many years of pure drinking pleasure. The Claret is a blend of equal parts Napa and Sonoma fruit, an approach that works brilliantly here.

The 2012 Merlot exhibits high-class notes of red and black fruits intermixed with hints of white chocolate and mocha. Medium to full-bodied and beautifully concentrated with no hard edges, its chocolate-infused finish is another attractive component of this lush, world-class Merlot. Consume it over the next decade.
