Ramey Napa Valley Claret 2007 Wine Review (NW)
Tasting notes:
Harmonious layers of black cherry, raspberry, cedar, and anise
Full bodied on the palate
Smooth, integrated finish of black cherry, dark fruit, and cigar box
Summary:
This wine from David Ramey is smooth and harmonious. It has nicely integrated flavors and is full bodied but not huge. In fact, it has a bit of the subtle restrain more common with Bordeaux than Napa Valley.
Made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, it should drink nicely for a long time. This will also be more versatile with food than an explosive Napa Valley Cabernet. For $32 or so, raise a glass!
