Varietal: Merlot 45%, Cabernet Sauvignon 44%, Cabernet Franc 6%, Syrah 5%
Wine: Claret
Label: Williamsburg Winery
Region: Virginia
Year: 2004
Date Tasted: June 2010
Notes: This wine is a good example of what mixing varietals can do for flavor. This very dry full bodied wine carries flavors of plum and walnut, with a hint of coconut. Although the major varietals included give it enough gravitas to hold up well to the weightiest steak, the minor ones give it a much more varied range of tastes, keeping it quite interesting. It finishes moderately and settles very smoothly.
