Another solid 2011 from this estate, the 2011 Proprietor’s Cuvee is made from 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot and the balance Petit Verdot, that spent 20 months in 50% new French oak. Medium-bodied, clean, focused and moderately concentrated, it offers up pretty black fruits, graphite, licorice and scorched earth aromas and flavors. Turning tannic on the finish, it will be interesting to see how this develops with an additional year or two in bottle, as it just might have more structure than fruit. The safe bet is to drink over the coming 5-6 years.
Possessing a tasting room in Woodinville, these rock-solid efforts are made by Kit Singh. He excels both with his reds and whites.
