A fantastic small-production Red from Chalk Hill - limited. previous vintage 96 Points Robert Parker: "The Proprietary Red Estate is a blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Malbec, 12% Petit Verdot and the rest Carignane, Syrah and Merlot. This is another titanic effort from proprietor Foley. A spectacular dense-purple color and sweet toasty oak intermixed with licorice, blackberry, cassis and graphite are all present in this profound first-growth quality blend that should age effortlessly for 25-30 or more years. This is a stunner and a revelation."

Big but balanced. Needs time.

A nose dominated with raspberries, and a hint of coconut. The palete has rich black currants notes, followed by a touch of damp soil. Lovely ripe tannins and bright acidity complete the experience. A true Bdx attempt from Napa is always a vivid take on its French counterpart.

Deep cherry notes along with cassis and cedar, with hints of vanilla. Notes of tobacco on the finish.

Perfectly serviceable for dinner but not something I would sip by the fire. Too tannic yet. Wait on these.

If I’m being honest, I was expecting more from this wine, especially at this price point.

Yum. My goodness. Juicy and full mouth feel with delicious dark flavors. Ends with a dry finish leaving me wanting more
