Score 93/100 · Drink 2003-2015, Robert Parker, Dec 2003
The opaque purple-colored 2000 Oakville Estate Proprietary Red (1,200 cases) reveals a gorgeous perfume of melted licorice, lead pencil shavings, black currants, white flowers, and truffles. Spicy and rich, with low acidity as well as a surprisingly sexy, deep mid-palate, it is one of the finest efforts of this difficult vintage. A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot, it is best consumed over the next 10-12 years. Tel. (707) 944-8577; Fax (707) 944-2823
