Note di degustazione
A blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot coming from a vineyard in south Napa, the 2010 Proprietary Red Sugarloaf Mountain "Oscar" displays a deep garnet color with a touch of brick. It leaps from the glass with bold, bombastic notes of redcurrant jelly, dried mulberries, stewed red plums, pencil lead, cigar box, menthol and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with red and black berry preserves layers, framed by plush tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long with loads of minty sparks. 390 cases were made.

The 2010 Proprietary Red Oscar Sugarloaf Mountain is notably sweeter, richer and more powerful than the Impetus, Bevan's other Merlot/Cabernet Franc blend. Chocolate, sweet spices, cloves, black berries and plums all jump from the glass in this full-bodied wine. The 2010 is full-throttle, intense and unapologetically opulent, but it all works, and beautifully. I expect the 2010 to give years of sheer pleasure once it recovers from its current slightly shut down stage.
