Description

While every one of our wines is created from unique parcels of grape from select vineyards, year-in and year-out, vintage variation shows that every wine is the sum of every single weather event of the vintage, and the 2007 vintage is proving to be truly spectacular. Originally known as our ‘Claret’, the Estate Cuvee continues our tradition of representing the Bordeaux varieties in a unique Clos Pegase Estate blend.

Tasting Notes

In keeping with its background, the wine plays on balance and elegance. Lively and intense crushed blackberries and blackcurrant fruit tones dominate the nose with toasty oak, dried herbs and vanilla notes. Full and lush on the entry, the palate has great volume and depth. Ripe tannins and a long finish complete the wine. The wine will continue to develop and gain complexity for the next three to six years.
