The Winery

Clos St. Martin

Dating back to the early 1800’s, Clos St. Martin takes its name from the St. Martin —the Patron Saint for wine growers, soldiers, and beggars. The estate’s wine style is sensuous, opulent, soft, velvet textures, coupled with plums, dark berries, licorice and minerality. Vintages to look out for: 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2012, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2005, 2001 and 2000.

Tasting Notes

WA95
A blend of 75% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon that hit 14% natural alcohol, the wine has an extraordinary purity and vivaciousness in 2009. Dense ruby/purple, with beautiful black currant and black cherry notes as well as hints of raspberry and spring flowers, despite the fact that 100% new French oak is used, it is completely buried beneath a cascade of glorious fruit. The wine is extremely aromatic, with great intensity and beautiful balance. Unlike most vintages, it is somewhat accessible because of the vintage’s low acidity and higher alcohols and should drink well for up to 20 years.
