Score 88/100 · Drink 2016-2031, Robert Parker, Oct 2016
The four proprietary reds are all various blends of Bordeaux varieties. The 2014 Proprietary Red Arise is a blend of 38% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc. It shows notes of white chocolate, blackcurrants, black cherry, licorice and roasted herbs with a hint of mocha, a dark ruby/plum color and a medium to full body with a sight herbal edge. The wine is chewy, round, juicy and best drunk over the next 10-15 years.
