Ramey Claret 2016

Wine Region: Napa Valley, California

Tasting Notes: It offers aromas of bay leaf, sage brush, cardamom, anise and clove with mint chocolate, underbrush, blackberries and blackcurrants. This medium-bodied, silky, nicely textured red offers notes of ripe black cherries, currants, and assorted tobacco and herbal notes, and it’s textured and balanced. Gentle, grainy tannins and great freshness to lift the finish. The reverberating, sweet summer berry finish jazzes up with the freshness of aloe and flint as the wine unfolds in the decanter.

Food Pairing: Beef Short Ribs
