Claret

Basel Cellars 2002 (about $24): This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc absolutely rocked my world. Gobs of big, lush, jammy berry fruit flavors and a touch of spice on the finish make it one of the best wines I tasted in calendar year 2005.

This is the type of red wine from Walla Walla that has been earning worldwide recognition. Kudos to Basel winemaker Trey Busch for an outstanding job. Go buy this wine now!
