The Coppola Claret is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (85%), Petit Verdot (13%). and a smattering of others, for a rich, lush wine, perfect for a medium rare slab hot off the grill. The Claret is the flagship of the Diamond Collection, and always a trusty companion for grilled meat.

The nose is heady with a burst of cherries and berries, sure to excite the senses! The flavors are blackberry, cherry, and a touch of plum. The finish lingers but is not overly oaked. The alcohol content is 13.5%, and Norm's score is 89.

While great with grilled meat, this wine would be an awesome choice for Veal Masala, one of my favorites.

score: 89
price: $14 - $20
