Score 94/100 · Drink 2027-2039, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2025

The 2023 Proprietary Red is a blend of equal parts Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Aromatic and vibrant, this mid-weight red is pure seduction. Crushed flowers, red-toned fruit, mint, spice and orange peel all grace this understated wine. Co-fermenting Cabernet Franc and Merlot is not easy because of the different ripening curves of the two grapes. This is very nicely done.

The same 60/40 split of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the 2023 Proprietary Red is deeper purple-hued and has a rocking nose of red, blue, and black fruit intermixed with spicy oak, sappy flowers, and chocolate. I love its overall texture, it's medium to full-bodied, has ripe tannins, and tons of character.
