Claret De Tardor

Château Montrose

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1970

We clearly had better bottles on the 2 cases we polished over the years. But was still great claret. Those who think St Estephe is rustic need to try Montrose 1970. All about finesse and elegance. Thank you NY ! — 3 years ago

Diamond Series Black Label Claret California Cabernet Sauvignon

On those nose - blackberry, plum, spice. Smokey notes, good tannin level, lingering aftertaste which is good. Pleasantly surprised. Lots of fruity flavors. Deep purple color. BLEND: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon 17% Petit Verdot 2% Petite Sirah Malbec 1%
14 months in French oak. Very good wine. Was a certain flavour (anise?) That I really liked but couldnt put my finger on it.

Renaissance Vineyard & Winery

Claret Prestige North Yuba Proprietary Red Blend 2001

Cedary old world elegance, leather and herbs, core of dark berry sweetness. This can't match the '01 Reserve Cab for stuffing but has it beat on balance and finesse, at least right now. — 9 years ago
