2021 Proprietary Red Reserve No.5

91 - James Suckling & Jeb Dunnuck

The gentlest sibling in the Verdon Proprietary Red family is No. 5. It, too, stands proud under that identity. Its unique blend demonstrates a compelling personality that brings a silky smooth glory to the table that defines the classic flavors of the Napa Valley region.

Gorgeous blueberry liqueur notes intermixed with graphite and minerals jump from the glass of this dark ruby/purple-colored red. It boasts fabulous intensity, an alluring texture and a rich, concentrated finish with no hard edges. Big and stylish, ready for your palate.

A mellow red with plums and herbs on the nose together with hints of prunes and raw cocoa. Medium body with fine tannins and a spicy edge lifting the mid-palate. Juicy and satisfying finish. Drink or hold.

91 - Jeb Dunnuck
Raised 18 months in 60% new French oak, it's another terrific value from this label that has pure red and black fruits, some chocolaty, spicy oak, medium to full body, ripe tannins, and a great finish. Drink this total charmer over the coming 7-8 years.
