2012 Balverne Estate Red
In Stock
Cabernet predominates in this particular Claret, but the Merlot is the silent partner that accentuates the cassis and currant fruit of the Cab and combines with its bigger tannins to silken the mouth feel. A small amount of Malbec adds soft black fruit like blueberry and plum. Both Merlot and Malbec bring midpalate richness and, with carefully chosen French oak, promote a long and complex finish.
