The Clarevale displays classic Cabernet aromas of tobacco, high end cigar, and damson plum, moving into ripe blue fruits with a hint of lilac, woven into the tapestry. From the second it enters, the palate is rich and layered, with bold blue-black fruits and very subtle spice. The drive on this wine is exceptionally long with great depth, and youthful, perky tannins. Absolutely delightful!
