Tasting notes
Blend of the two Cabernets and Petit Verdot filling 14 barrels. Really quite sweet, dark and thick. There is some aspect of dark chocolate here to a European taster but there is also some freshness. It's gorgeous and wonderfully smooth on first sip but do we want a second glass? In cahoots with medical advisors? (JR)

The 2014 Red Wine is a Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot-based wine from Vine Hill Ranch. Pliant, deep and super-expressive, the 2014 hits all the right notes. Like all the best wines of the year, the Red Wine possesses gorgeous, brilliant red-toned fruit and tons of energy. This is a positively stellar wine with a bright future.
The 2014 Proprietary Red from Oakville is 44% Cabernet Franc, 44% Petit Verdot and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a fabulous wine and a creative blend from Kenward. With a fabulous nose of forest floor, white flowers, licorice, incense, blackcurrant and blueberry fruit, this deep, sumptuous, full-bodied wine has fabulous intensity, low acidity and finely grained, integrated tannins. There is not much of it, but it is a beauty. It can be drunk now or cellared for another two decades.
