Francis Coppola’s signature red wine is layered with flavors of blackberry, cassis, and roasted espresso. Claret is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine, blended in the classic Bordeaux style.
This prize offering, the ultra-premium Claret, sports a label that honors the first Cabernet Sauvignon blended in a Bordeaux style by Gustave Niebaum in 1910. Claret is a term originally coined by the British to describe Cabernet-based wines. This Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc blend is alluring and sophisticated; it is memorably lush with a tapestry of smooth tannins and succulent flavors of wild berries, plum, and anise. Borrowing tradition of European wineries, we add gold netting to bottle to signify the outstanding quality of the wine.
