Tasting note: There are 440 cases of the 2000 Proprietary Red Wine (a blend of 84%
Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot)
from a vineyard close to such titans as Screaming Eagle and Dalla Valle.
Aged in French oak, it is an elegant, dense, medium to full-bodied,
impressively pure offering revealing notes of cedar wood, black
currants, and earth. (91pts Robert Parker)
Tasted: Dec. 2003
Score: 91
Drink: 2006-16
Tasting note: Good medium ruby. Highly aromatic nose
combines redcurrant, black raspberry, graphite and mint. Sweet and
vinous, with a supple middle and lovely clarity of flavor. Not a
particularly large wine but shapely and consistent. Notes of leather and
tobacco. Finishes with ripe, fine tannins. (91pts Stephen Tanzer)
