Chris James Cellars 2017 Claret

Chris James Cellars 2017 Claret


This red blend of Bordeaux varietals from Carlton Oregon's Chris James Cellars includes equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec from the Columbia Gorge. It offers aromas of black fruit mixed with notes of lightly smoked cedar, cola-clove spice and bay leaf. On the palate, it shows flavors of plum, coffee-caramel and baking spices that linger on the finish.
