crushed chalk and then a silky citric grip

Blends power and finesse with a deft hand and finishes very long and sappy

A much earthier mix of red and dark currant

it s medium to full-bodied

but all the elements are nicely balanced

Sloan, Proprietary Red other_regions crushed chalk and then aDeep garnet purple colored, the 2014 Proprietary Red needs a little coaxing to reveal slowly unfurling notions of warm black cherries, mulberries, redcurrants and blackberry compote with touches of licorice, tapenade, chargrill and scorched earth. Full bodied, firm, grainy and packed with layers of black fruits and savory flavors, it has a firm, grainy backbone of very ripe tannins and tons of vivacity, finishing very long.
