					<description><![CDATA[Inky, deep red color; mixed red and dark fruits on the nose. Do not be fooled by the label, this is not your Englishman’s lean, structured, light fruit Bordeaux blend; there is big fruit here with clear New World flourishes, strong tannin and dark-fruit bite, and the Left Coast cavalcade of grapes—46% cabernet sauvignon, 17% <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/bonny-doon-vineyard-a-proper-claret-2013/">Read More</a>]]></description>
