The Proprietary Red is a classic Bordeaux-style blend with a high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, but also a greater presence of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This type of blending tends to make a wine that is denser, with more diversity in its profile. Due to the almost equal balance of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and equal balance of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, we consider this a bit more of an “intellectual” wine.
