drink-now2019 Berry Bros. & Rudd Good Ordinary Claret by Dourthe, Bordeaux

Merlot makes up 67% of the blend, giving our Good Ordinary Claret its silky richness. The balance is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, adding power and structure. After a year in oak, this wine demonstrates why red Bordeaux is such a perennial favourite: it’s got warm, savoury aromas of cedar and woodsmoke, with supple cassis and blackberry on the palate.

This is a versatile red, making a reliable pairing for most roast and grilled meats or cheese boards. It’s also soft enough to be enjoyed on its own.
