Gilbert Cellars Claret 06

HUGE - Mark Ryan fans will love this wine. Scents of dried cherries and sweet cedar open to big big flavors of cherry, leather, pipe tobacco, dried fruit, licorice, and meaty tannins. Boisterous and aggressive, this is a wine to have with a big hunk of grilled meat.

74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 8% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc

"A bouquet of dark cherries, crushed herbs and Christmas spices accent a rich, full palate of blackberries and cocoa leading into a lingering finish of crème de cassis and subtle vanilla." - the winery
