Score 92/100 · James Suckling, Feb 2019

A big, tannic Napa Valley red that’s just beginning to display it’s wealth of blackberry and spice character, but has a great future ahead of it, thanks to the concentrated, fine tannins. Long and moderately dry finish. Try from 2020.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Proprietary Red Blend Family Reserve Generations is intensely scented of warm black and red currants, Black Forest cake and blueberry compote with nuances of chocolate mint, new leather, tilled soil and fallen leaves. Full-bodied with a taut frame of grainy tannins supporting the densely packed black fruit layers, it has a long lingering minty kick on the finish.
