Exotic fruit with flowers, and lots going on. The tannins are very velvety, and have a super refined texture and a long, long finish. A fascinating wine. \" JS Dec 2010\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJD97 \"The 2008 Proprietary Red is beautiful and is just now starting to show some evolution. Coming from a dry growing season and very tiny berries, it has perfumed red and black fruits as well as ample tobacco smoke, black olive, iron, and baking spice-like aromatics. This full-bodied, deep, beautifully concentrated and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon has another 20-25 years of prime drinking ahead of it.\" JD Jan. 2025 \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRP96+ \"The 2008 SLOAN ESTATE is racy and totally elegant from start to finish. It shows gorgeous freshness and vibrancy in its expressive dark red fruit, flowers, licorice and tobacco. Today the 2008 comes across as a relatively understated, subdued vintage for this wine. It should be absolutely fabulous in another few years.\" AG for TWA Dec 2011\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRobert Parker writes, \"With fewer than ten vintages under their belt, it is amazing what proprietor Stuart Sloan and his winemaker, the talented Martha McClellan, have accomplished. Production is slightly above 600 cases, with the potential of 1,000 cases eventually coming from these beautiful hillside slopes above the Auberge du Soleil, on the eastern hillsides of Napa. These wines, meant for three decades of cellaring, tend to be blends of 80-85% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and a tiny dollop of Merlot.\" Published: Dec 21, 2009","brand":"Sloan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32964699521083,"sku":"USR:SLO:SLOA-PK06-2008-F0L0C0","price":2250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/8592\/6203\/products\/Photo_Coming_Soon_d8c5d8b8-bff1-4b4d-a907-c5d3c5968b51.jpg?v=1586467651","url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/sloan-2008-6-pack-owc-750ml","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
