Claret Red Blend

Claret is a term initially 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 the bottle to signify the outstanding quality of the wine. Dark and luscious, 2016 Diamond Collection Claret delivers rich extraction, fragrant spice notes, supple tannins, and sophisticated character. The extended growing season produced highly concentrated fruit that’s enhanced by a full body and long finish.

Wine Region

California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
