2013 | Roy Estate | Proprietary Red Estate

The 2013 Roy Estate Proprietary Red is not a shy wine! This dark violet beauty explodes from the glass with loads of velvety chocolate, wild cherry, plum, leather, licorice and clove. Exciting the palate are endless full-bodied layers of complexity and lush mouthfeel with notes of blackberries, exotic spices and crème de cassis. The wine has great concentration with rich, but smooth tannins and well integrated French oak.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2013 Proprietary Red Estate is a blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot. This wine was aged in 85% new Taransaud oak for 19 months prior to bottling of 650 cases. The wine is a beauty, with loads of charcoal, scorched earth, blackcurrants and blackberry fruit present, along with underlying smoky notes. It is dense purple, full-bodied, and rich, with moderate tannin.

• Vinous: The 2013 Proprietary Red is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Graphite, smoke, crushed rocks and savory herbs are some of the signatures. Deeply layered and powerful, with plenty of the estate's trademark richness, the 2013 deftly balances fruit intensity with nuance. The powerful, structured finish is classic 2013.

Producer Information

Roy Estate was founded by Charles and Shirley Ro. A unique property blessed by its geography, topography, and terroir is situated immediately south of the renowned Stags Leap District at the cooler southern end of the Napa Valley. gentle slopes of Roy Estate are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. On one side, classic volcanic soil produces smaller, low-yielding vines that generate wines with powerful tannins. The soil on the other side is more loamy and deep, supporting bigger and stronger vines that give more generous, profound, layered wines. The cooler conditions give their wines a more European-style tannic structure with a clear focus on the purity of the fruit. Summer fog often clings until mid-morning, moderating the sun’s intensity, preserving acidity and yielding wines with softer, fresher nuances.
