   The 2017 Proprietary Red Wine is based on 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and the rest 2% Petit Verdot and a mix of Italian varieties that was brought up in 45% new French oak. It’s a medium to full-bodied, balanced, elegant wine with pretty notes of red and black currants, tobacco, leafy herbs, and dried flower-like aromas and flavors. It’s nicely balanced, has silky tannins, and a great finish. A small portion of this was harvested after the fires, but it doesn’t show any signs of smoke taint.

   This is a pretty red with blueberry and blackberry character. Medium body and firm, silky tannins. Juicy and flavorful finish. Drink after 2020.

   The 2017 Proprietary Red Wine is a delicious entry-level wine that also captures the essence of the David Arthur house style. Crushed red berries, mint, wild flowers and cinnamon open up in the glass. Translucent and nuanced, with tons of energy, the 2017 has a lot to offer. I would prefer to drink it over the next handful of years.
