Score 91/100 · Drink 2006-2016, Robert Parker, Dec 2003

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. However, the price is very intimidating. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2016. Tel. (707) 944-8493; Fax (707) 945-0235

Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

(14.3% alcohol; 84% cabernet sauvignon, 12% merlot and 2% each cabernet franc and petit verdot) 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.
