Tasting notes
The 2015 Proprietary Blend is Brand's Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon blend. Mocha, sweet herb, plum and spice give the 2015 a distinctive aromatic upper register to play off the huge, powerful fruit. Readers should expect a full-throttle, super-concentrated expression of Pritchard Hill.

Blended of 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Proprietary Red Estate has a gorgeous perfume with floral notes of roses and violets over a core of cassis, black berries and black cherries with touches of herbs, tar and earth. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it's firmly structured and fresh with grainy tannins, finishing long and lively. 193 cases produced.

The 2015 Proprietary Blend is huge and powerful, with massive concentration in both its dark fruit and tannins. This is another very young wine with considerable potential.
