Note di degustazione
Collaboration between Marchesi Antinori of Tuscany and Chateau Ste Michelle of Washington State. Very deep crimson. Extremely sumptuous and luxurious in terms of subtlety and texture. Sweet start but with fine tannins and attractive polish. Maybe sweeter and hotter than ideal. But a very ambitious wine. (JR)

Bright medium ruby. Claret-like aromas of raspberry, currant and spices lifted by a floral quality. Juicy, spicy and intense, with well-delineated red berry and mineral flavors sweetened by spicy oak. Finishes with a firm spine of broad, dusty tannins and excellent length. Very classy wine.
Coming from the Col Solare and Quintessence vineyards on Red Mountain, the 2013 Proprietary Red is a rich, fabulously textured, full-bodied effort the has tons of black cherry and cassis fruits intermixed with notes of licorice, smoked herbs, graphite and lead pencil aromas and flavors. Made from a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot and 2% Malbec that spent 22 months in 100% new French oak, drink this pure, layered and polished Red Mountain Bordeaux blend over the coming 15-20 years.
Barrel sample. Pure and intense fruit – dry, yet has a sweetness of fruit to the palate. Extremely fine tannic structure – filigree textured. Substantial and ageworthy, but entirely fruit-driven at present. (RH)
