RAMEY CLARET NAPA VALLEY 2018

This Napa Valley take on a Bordeaux blend is still dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon followed by Merlot and trace amounts of the remaining Bordeaux varietals.  The "Claret" is an elegant wine that's silky and a nicely textured red offering notes of ripe black cherries, currants, and assorted tobacco notes that are well balanced with the fruit.

94 POINTS, The Wine Advocate. "The 2018 Claret features blackcurrant aromas with accents of peppercorn, bacon, cedar, thyme and lavender. Full-bodied, its powerful, concentrated fruits are supported by finely grained tannins, and it has a long, still youthfully coiled finish. It will continue to unfold for several more years in bottle."
