Moving to the 2017s, the 2017 Proprietary Red Brothers Blend checks in as 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot. It has the more savory style of the vintage as well as notes of ripe black cherries, currants, iodine, and smoke tobacco. Medium to full-bodied and balanced, with both acidity and tannins, it’s an outstanding wine to enjoy over the coming 10-15 years.

The 2017 Proprietary Red Blend Brothers Blend is a step up from the 2016. Rich, ripe and voluptuous with terrific balance, the 2017 offers striking creaminess and depth in its sweet red cherry, chocolate, spice and new leather flavors.
