"Even better, the 2017 Proprietary Red is a slightly more Cabernet Franc shifted blend and is 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Merlot. While the 2016 was brought up in 80% new French oak, both the 2017 and 2018 saw 100% new barrels. This beauty is a candidate for the best wine under 100 bucks from Napa and has terrific black raspberry and cassis fruits, flowery incense, and toasted bread notes to go with a medium to full-bodied, fabulously balanced style on the palate. It’s a terrific 2017 that does everything right."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
