Winemaker Notes: As with last vintage’s Proprietary Red this was a unique find of Napa Valley grapes and one we can never get again. Atlas Peak AVA Merlot dominates the blend and Chiles Valley Zinfandel makes a sneak peek in each taste. This wine is ready to drink now or to hang out in your cellar for a while.

Tasting Notes: This beauty’s bouquet is violets, black pepper, baking spices. And vanilla-infused plum preserves. The palate is treated to new leather, dates, prunes, dried oregano, and cedar box.
