2019 | Alpha Omega | Proprietary Red

Deep, dark, black oil with touches of mauve on the rim. Beautiful nose of spices and flowers, such as thyme and lilacs with a touch of roses, dark chocolate cherries and gingerbread. On the palate, fresh, fruity entrance evolving on granular integrated tannins lingering on juicy fruit such as black currant, plum and boysenberries.

Reviews:

• Jeb Dunnuck: A blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 21% Malbec, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, mostly from the Atlas Peak region, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Proprietary Red Wine is another dense, concentrated wine with plenty of darker, plummy, blue fruits, notes of tobacco and graphite, medium to full body, and ripe tannins. It drops off on the finish, which kept the score down, but it's certainly a beautiful, balanced wine from this lineup.

• James Suckling: A solid red with blackberry, currant and dark-chocolate aromas and flavors. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Shows firmness and focus. 40% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot, 21% malbec, 8% petit verdot and 4% cabernet franc. Best after 2024.
