Note di degustazione
The 2015 Proprietary Red Wine is an absolutely delicious wine to drink now and over the next few years. The significant presence of Cabernet Franc in the blend seems to give the flavors a measure of lift and brightness not found in the Cabernets, while the wine's mid-weight structure makes it easy to enjoy young.

A blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 11% Petit Verdot and the balance Merlot, the 2015 Proprietary Red Wine is a forward, plump, sexy wine that has lots of black (and some blue) fruits, white chocolate, white flower and graphite notes in its medium to full-bodied, nicely balanced personality. It’s not the most concentrated red out there, yet it, again, shines for its balance and purity. I suspect it’s going to keep nicely for 15+ years. Along with consultant Michel Rolland, winemaker Jean Hoefliger has produced an incredible number of killer wines in 2014 and 2015. If you’re interested in learning about all the various sites throughout the Valley, this is a good place to start.
Composed of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 11% Petit Verdot and 5% Merlot, the 2015 Proprietary Red Wine displays a medium to deep garnet-purple color and nose of crushed red and black currants, black cherries and blackberries with hints of underbrush, dried Mediterranean herbs and damp soil. Medium-bodied, refreshing and delicately styled in the mouth, there are plenty of fruity layers here with an earthiness to spark interest, finishing with ripe, grainy tannins paving the way.
