Product Description
JS99 "Impressive purity of fruit and definition with blackcurrant, oyster shell, blueberries and slate. Graphite, too. Very complex yet subtle. Full-bodied, very chewy and powerful yet polished and gorgeous. Muscular, well-formed tannins. Electric style. Drink in 2020." JS Jan 2016
RP98 "One of the best vintages of this wine, the 2013 Proprietary Red remains remarkably primary, offering up scents of mint, bay leaf, tobacco and ripe cherries. It's medium to full-bodied, silky and elegant but also firm, energetic and long on the finish. Give it another couple of years in the cellar if you can, and enjoy it over the next two decades." JC for TWA Jun 2023
AG98 "The 2013 Proprietary Red Wine is a dense, potent wine. A blast of dark cherry, blackberry, grilled herbs, graphite and chocolate stains the palate. Deep and explosive, with tons of textural intensity and stature, the 2013 is so impressive. Time in the glass brings out compelling inner sweetness, perfume and redder tonalities of fruit. At ten years of age, the 2013 remains very, very young. The blend is 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Cabernet Franc, 9% Petit Verdot and 4% Merlot." AG for VM May 2024
Robert Parker writes, "The blend of the 2013 Proprietary Red Continuum is 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Cabernet Franc, 9% Petit Verdot and 4% Merlot. This is a tour de force from Tim Mondavi and his team – a masterpiece of power and finesse that, although approachable now, should age gracefully for at least another 25-30 years."
