2018 HEIR APPARENT NAPA VALLEY PROPRIETARY RED “The 2018 Red Blend Heir Apparent is also terrific. It has a complex, up-front, medium to full-bodied style that carries lovely black cherry, redcurrant, new saddle leather, camphor, and tobacco-like aromas and flavors. Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, it has a wonderful sense of elegance, light yet present tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish. Enjoy this pleasure-bent yet classic, balanced red blend over the coming 10-15 years.” 92 Points “Savory aromas and flavors of dried oysters and thyme complement the stewed cherries and cloves. It’s medium-to full-bodied with succulent, sleek tannins and umami notes. Juicy. Drink or hold.” 91 Points “The limited production 2018 Proprietary Red Wine blend shows a deep and dark ruby red appearance. The nose jumps out of the glass with fresh Asian spice aromas intermixed with plum confiture and blackberry note. On the palate, the wine shows its opulence in a brooding and emphatic way. The flavors are intriguing and mix blackberry, fresh red meat, intense violet extract and plum jam.”
