Background Info:
• Claret is a term originally coined by the British to describe Cabernet-based wines.
• The Cabernet sourced from El Dorado comes from vineyards at 1,000 feet above sea level, an altitude that exceeds the fog layer thereby exposing the grapes to continuous sunlight.
• The fruit is cold soaked to extract intense color and flavor prior to fermentation.
• Hand-harvesting ensures that only the highest quality fruit is picked.

Official Comment:
"The goal when making Claret is not only to showcase Cabernet Sauvignon and its Bordeaux blending partners, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, but also to demonstrate the diversity of California's many distinguished growing regions. These areas provide the warm days, cool evenings, and well draining soils that contribute to the wide array of expressive aromas and flavors found in this wine. The Black Label Claret reveals a deep garnet color and enticing aromas of dark chocolate, anise, and sweet spices. Rich, lively flavors of succulent blackberry, currant, and wild strawberry are wrapped in soft, smooth tannins." – Winery
