Double Diamond Oakville Proprietary Red is made fromĀ 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 25% Cabernet Franc.
"The inaugural release of the 2021 Proprietary Red Wine upholds the level of excellence expected from winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. It expresses a fragrant perfume of ripe red cherry, blueberry, and pomegranate, mingled with bell pepper, iron, and vanilla bean. On the palate, generous red and blue fruits are complemented by blackberry compote, dark chocolate, and espresso. The wine has silky tannins, food-friendly acidity, and a lingering finish. It is ready to drink upon release but will cellar well for years to come."
Marie Baron Bourgueil Rouge is made from 100 percent Cabernet Franc.
Bourgueil is a renowned red wine appellation in the Loire Valley, situated on the north bank of the Loire River in Touraine. The appellation is known for producing expressive Cabernet Franc wines that range from light and fruity to structured and age-worthy.
This wine displays a beautiful ruby color with aromas of red fruits, violets, and a characteristic hint of green pepper. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with supple tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of raspberry and blackcurrant with a touch of graphite.
Pairs wonderfully with charcuterie, grilled meats, goat cheese, or rillettes.
