Note di degustazione
The 2017 Proprietary Red Wine is based on 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and the rest 2% Petit Verdot and a mix of Italian varieties that was brought up in 45% new French oak. It’s a medium to full-bodied, balanced, elegant wine with pretty notes of red and black currants, tobacco, leafy herbs, and dried flower-like aromas and flavors. It's nicely balanced, has silky tannins, and a great finish. A small portion of this was harvested after the fires, but it doesn't show any signs of smoke taint.

The 2017 Proprietary Red Wine is a delicious entry-level wine that also captures the essence of the David Arthur house style. Crushed red berries, mint, wild flowers and cinnamon open up in the glass. Translucent and nuanced, with tons of energy, the 2017 has a lot to offer. I would prefer to drink it over the next handful of years.
This is a pretty red with blueberry and blackberry character. Medium body and firm, silky tannins. Juicy and flavorful finish. Drink after 2020.
Pliant, succulent and inviting, the 2017 Proprietary Red Wine is a terrific introduction to the David Arthur range. The natural richness of the year comes through in generous dark cherry, plum, spice and lavender flavors. Best of all, this juicy Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot-based blend will drink well right out of the gate. The Proprietary Red is made from both estate and purchased fruit.
