“The 2010 Proprietary Red (71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot) exhibits lots of dusty, loamy soil notes and a strong minerality in its masculine, dense, medium to full-bodied style with relatively elevated tannins. This big, backstrapping, loaded red requires another 3-4 years of bottle age. It should continue to evolve for 15-20 years.”
