Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The 2019 Proprietors Blend offers a rich and inviting bouquet, showcasing concentrated black cherry preserves that unfold seamlessly on the nose and palate. Hints of warming cinnamon weave through a long, creamy, and well-rounded texture, adding depth and complexity. The wine's structure is elevated by delicate floral aromas of rose petals and violets, lending a graceful lift to its profile. Fresh red fruit notes, like raspberry and cranberry, provide brightness, balancing the richness with vibrant acidity and ensuring a refined, generous finish.
Winemaker Notes
The 2019 Proprietors Blend is a reflection of Napa Valley’s exceptional 2018 growing season, which set the stage for a beautifully balanced and complex wine. A nearly perfect season unfolded, marked by cool, steady temperatures throughout spring and summer with little to no heat spikes. This consistent weather allowed for extended hang time, enabling slow and even ripening of the fruit, resulting in optimal flavor development and natural acidity.
The blend showcases the richness of black cherry and ripe plum, highlighted by subtle spice notes of cinnamon and clove from gentle oak aging. Delicate floral undertones of rose and violet add elegance, while vibrant red fruit flavors such as raspberry and pomegranate lend freshness to the palate. The wine’s creamy texture is complemented by fine-grained tannins, leading to a lingering, generous finish.
Crafted with precision, the 2019 Proprietors Blend embodies the harmony achieved from grapes grown in a season of perfect balance, delivering both power and finesse. This vintage will continue to evolve beautifully over the next decade.
