Tasting - Francis Ford Coppola Claret

Name: Francis Ford Coppola Claret
Variety: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Petit Verdot, 4% Petit Sirah
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2015
Price: $12

Winery Review: Rich and aromatic, our 2015 Black Label Claret boasts beautiful extraction, velvety tannins, and robust character. Exotic spices and earthy nuances embellish dark, complex fruit flavors that are long-lived on the finish.

My Review:
This wine had big, strong aromas of mainly black fruit. I got notes of black currant, raspberry, and licorice with some spice. Overall quite fruity. The taste was smooth with a lot of raspberry, cherry, and red currant. It was also slightly oaky with some black pepper. It was not big and bold like a typical cabernet sauvignon. It was tannic and had a long finish. It was a really nice wine and of good quality.
