Score 95/100 · Drink 2020-2030, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2018

Mocha, red cherry, sage, tobacco and gravel notes infuse the 2015 Proprietary Red Mekerra. In this vintage, Mekerra offers a striking interplay between the savory, mineral notes that are so typical of this Knights Valley site along with the textural richness that is a signature of the year.

Blended of 53% Cabernet Franc and 47% Merlot, the 2015 Mekerra Proprietary Red has a deep garnet-purple color and compelling nose of crushed red currants, black plums and warm blackberries with touches of spice box, pencil shavings and bay leaves plus a waft of mocha. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the mouth with spicy, fresh black fruit, framed by velvety tannins and great freshness, finishing with lingering earth and mineral notes coming through.
