Another superb wine from Ramey in 2012 is the Napa Valley Claret, blended with 70% cabernet sauvignon, 24% merlot, 2% malbec, 2% syrah, 1% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. This instantly opens up with nuances of cassis, blackberries, graphite, herbs, spices and a touch of dusty minerals. The medium-full body is soft and supple backed by a gorgeous round texture that lasts through the finish. This is a wonderful peak into David Ramey’s outstanding wines in 2012’s and will be accessible immediately upon release. (Best 2014-2019) - October, 2014 (JD)
