Rating: 96 Points (Robert Parker)

“Our Roy Estate Mr. Evans demonstrates the heights achieved by the artful blending of select lots of our Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller, precisely tuned additions of other Bordeaux varietals also grown on the property. This single vineyard, Estate grown Proprietary Red, produced in limited quantities of 400 to 750 cases, is a wine of striking complexity, beautifully polished with substantial structure. The wine’s depth and fine tannins reflect the attributes of our spectacular site. Built to last, this Cabernet Sauvignon-led, Bordeaux blend is aged up to 21 months in Taransaud new French oak barrels to heighten complexity and deepen aromas. Over its releases, this wine has reaped raving reviews from renowned wine critics and experts.”

“Composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon (64%) with smaller parts of Merlot (21%) and Petitt Verdot (15%), the 2015 Proprietary Red Estate gives a deep garnet-purple color and nose of crushed blackberries and warm black cherries with touches of Provence herbs, charcuterie and forest floor. Medium to full-bodies, the palate offers up expressive red and black fruit preserves with appealing herbal and savory accents, framed by grainy tannis and just enough freshness, finishing on a minty note.”
