Tasting notes
Brand's 2022 Proprietary Blend is a 61-39 mix of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Hints of violets and crushed stone appear first, followed by notes of tomato leaf and menthol, all backed by a solid base of black plums. It's medium- to full-bodied and supple on the palate, adding mocha and dark chocolate on the long, velvety finish.

The 2022 Proprietary Red is packed with inky dark fruit, mocha, plum, new leather, licorice and chocolate. This opulent, fleshy Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon blend has a lot to offer if the searing tannins settle down.
