2009 Constant Claret Estate

The 2009 Red Blend Estate Claret is a pretty, mid-weight wine, but it can’t match the sumptuous 2010. Sweet, red berries, flowers, licorice and tobacco are some of the notes that take shape in this relative easygoing, mid-weight wine. Next to the 2010, the 2009 tends towards a redder expression of fruit, with more overt floral tones and a generally feminine expression of fruit. The blend is 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Cabernet Franc and 12% Merlot. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2021. Tel. (707) 942-0707
