Sloan 2018 Ontario and 1% Viognier that wasA blend of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller proportions of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2018 Proprietary Red displays and deep, vibrant garnet purple color. Baked plums, blackberry pie, crme de cassis and toasty oak notes leap from the glass, followed by hints of tilled soil, Indian spices, mocha and crushed rocks. Big, full bodied, opulent and velvety, it has a solid structure and a very long, seductively spicy finish. 98+ Wine
