Claret 2021 On-Premise
;)
;)
Les Trois Dames refers to three heroic and determined Texas grape growing women: Grapes sourced from Brenda Canada's Canada Family Vineyard, Gay Wilmeth's Diamante Doble Vineyard and Betty Bingham's Bingham Family Vineyard are the highlights of this Bordeaux-style wine. Their endurance and boldness is exemplified in this rich and complex blend.
Aromatics: Violets, rose petals, bay leaf, cardamom, cherries, raspberries, herbal tea, and clove
On the Palate: Balanced tannins, ripe cherries, red currants, herbal teas, minerality, followed by lingering toasted oak.
