| Description: | 92 Pts - Jeb Dunnuck. Moving to the reds, the 2015 Claret checks in as a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 6% Syrah, and the rest Malbec and Petit Verdot all aged in 10-15% new French oak. Lots of blackcurrants, olive, peppery herbs, and cedar notes emerge from this medium-bodied, elegant Bordeaux blend that has loads to love. Drink it over the coming decade. 90 Pts - Wine Advocate. Composed of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 6% Syrah, 4% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot, the medium garnet-purple colored 2015 Claret has a fantastic combination of red and black fruits --black raspberries, black plums, redcurrants and black cherries--with suggestions of cigar box and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, it has a firm, chewy structure and a great core of crunchy fruit, finishing long and earthy. Antonio Galloni - Vinous. The 2015 Claret is an attractive, mid-weight wine done in a style that emphasizes fruit freshness and energy over the richer style that runs through the rest of David Ramey's Napa Valley wines. Sweet red berry fruit, floral notes and silky tannins all add to the wine's immediacy and appeal. Wine Spectator. Struggles to find a focus amid a mix of savory underbrush, dried herb and lavender notes, and touches of meaty, earthy dark berry flavors, ending chewy. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Syrah and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2020. Winemaker's Notes. This soft, easy-drinking Cabernet is a good introduction to the vintage, and while it will improve over the course of three to eight years, it is not a wine intended for long-term cellaring. Producer Ramey Wine Cellars is dedicated to creating high quality, handcrafted wines with balance and richness from the area's finest vineyards. Our philosophy is our process: It's about respect for the land. Nature guides our process and we listen - closely. It's about terroir. The vineyards are selected for their ability to sustainably produce the highest quality fruit. The soil must be right for the climate, which must be right for the terrain, which must be right for the varietal. It's about harmony - the marriage of Old World methods with New World innovations. It's about a family of wines crafted for the now, but even better with age. Bold, but in check, sensual, these are wines in perfect balance. Ramey Wine Cellars. Guided by passion and a commitment to goodness in the glass. |
