The blend this year is 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. It was aged in French oak, 79% new, and bottled in July 2019. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Proprietary Red DB4 strolls nonchalantly out of the glass with soft-spoken scents of baked plums, blueberry compote and black currant cordial plus wafts of potpourri, fragrant earth, cinnamon stick and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has compelling mid-palate weight with bags of black fruit preserves and a sturdy frame of grainy tannins, finishing with lovely freshness. 680 cases were made.
