The other cuvée of The David, the 2014 Proprietary Red from Howell Mountain is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest equal parts Cabernet Franc and Merlot. This is a sensational effort as well. Opaque purple, with notes of graphite, mulberry, white chocolate and blackberry, the wine is deep, full-bodied, voluptuously textured and a total hedonistic and intellectual turn-on. This wine should drink well for at least another 15 or more years.
