The 2005 Cabernet (80%) – Merlot (15%) – Malbec (5%) “The Proprietor” is deep cherry red with an enticing nose of smoke, mint/eucalyptus, clove, black cherry, and black currant. This leads to a full bodied yet elegant wine with ample ripe fruit, a firm structure, and excellent length. Give it 5-7 years to blossom and drink it through 2025.
