Review Date: 12/2025Coming from a cool spot in Oak Knoll, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Proprietary Red offers beautiful aromatics of red and black fruits, leafy herbs, tobacco, and floral notes, with some earthy underbrush nuances developing with air. It's medium to full-bodied, round, supple, and wonderfully textured and balanced on the palate, with sweet, supple tannins. It's a beautiful, satisfying, character-loaded 2023 that should keep for 15+ years with ease.

The 2023 Proprietary Red is a blend of equal parts Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Aromatic and vibrant, this mid-weight red is pure seduction. Crushed flowers, red-toned fruit, mint, spice and orange peel all grace this understated wine. Co-fermenting Cabernet Franc and Merlot is not easy because of the different ripening curves of the two grapes. This is very nicely done. (AG)
