"The 2004 Oakville Estate Proprietary Red (a 2
500-case blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon
8% Petit Verdot
8% Merlot
and 1% Cabernet Franc) was aged 20 months in French wood. It exhibits a deep ruby/purple color followed by scents of licorice
black currants
underbrush
charcoal
and spice characteristics. With terrific fruit as well as an opulent texture
it should drink well for 12-15 years."
