Tasting notes
Deep in color, the wine is packed with ripe, black cherry, blackberry, chocolate, vanilla and smoke. Concentrated, rich and long, there is freshness to the fruit, making this interesting to drink. 95 Points

87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 4% Malbec, 3% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. Ridiculously heavy bottle. Meaty, interesting nose with great density. Rich and complex but not sweet. The Malbec ingredient is interesting and not too obvious. I should think this will age well. (JR)
Fantastic aromatics with blackberries, blackcurrants and iodine. Licorice, too. Medium to fulll body, fine and velvety tannins and a very polished and gorgeous finish. Caressing and dialed in. Why wait? An intellectual wine here. Lovely now.
The 2014 Proprietary Red Wine is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec, again, showing slightly less depth than its two surrounding siblings, but beautiful pure fruit, silky, velvety tannins, a layered mouthfeel and deep blackcurrant and black cherry fruit intermixed with cedar wood, fruitcake and smoky oak. This is a terrific wine as well and it will be the fastest out of the gate in terms of evolution – drinking beautifully for the next 15+ years.
