Carte Blanche Proprietary Red Napa Valley 2016 (750ml)

Winemaker Notes The 2016 Proprietary Red shows blackberry, ripe plum, blueberry, cocao andcedar on the nose. The palate is silky and focused, showcasing red and blackcurrant, crushed blackberries, tobacco, and hint of graphite through an enduringfinish. Critical Acclaim JD95 Jeb Dunnuck Coming from Napa Valley, the 2016 Proprietary Red Wine is a blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, all aged in new barrels. This cuvée is made with the idea to be slightly more accessible and offers a St. Emilion-like feel in its blue fruits, tobacco leaf, crushed rocks, and cedary, spice-laced aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied, has a layered, balanced texture, and terrific tannin quality. It’s another powerful yet elegant wine from Keplinger.
