2000 Behrens Family Claret

The 2000 Claret (250 cases), made from 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 20% Cabernet Franc, is lighter, with lower alcohol than either of the Kenefick Ranch or Cuvee Lola offerings. It is a delicate, floral-styled effort displaying sweet red and black currant fruit, medium body, and amazing restraint and understatement, particularly for a B-H wine. It could easily hold its own in a tasting of top-notch Bordeaux. (Price not yet determined, release date 11/02) Tel. 707-963-1774; Fax 707-963-8206
