The wine's great intensity and profound flavors come from a season of striving and struggle that began with a dry and early spring in the second year of California's drought and continued throughout the long growing season. Sweet firm tannins are interleaved with blackberry and dark cherry fruits, espresso, spice and licorice to make a wine that is both uncommonly delectable and undeniably eloquent. Learn More

The 2013 Proprietary Red Sloan is from a similar 13 sections of land of domain vineyard. Run of the mill of the vintage, it is awesome, inky purple and gigantic, with staggeringly ready foods grown from the ground energy and outline that is stunning – given the lavishness and hugeness of this wine is a genuine long haul prospect. It needs 5-6 years of further container age and should effectively last 30-35 years. The notes of dark truffle, charcoal, incense, blackberry and cassis organic product are trailed by a full-bodied, amazingly proportioned wine that is stacked, staggeringly unadulterated and very much depicted.

Since its introduction with the 2004 vintage, ASTERISK Proprietary Red speaks to the second choice from SLOAN ESTATE, exhibiting a substitute yet rich and convincing articulation of the terroir.

Delivered under a similar over the top meticulousness and steady measures as SLOAN, ASTERISK is delicious and arousing, offering a blast of organic product smells and flavors. While it holds the guarantee of maturing potential, it is a magnificently welcoming wine that is expected to fulfill the craving for moment delight. Learn More

Dense and lush, this wine exhibits notes of blackberry, cola, darkcherry, plum, dried red tobacco, leather, pen ink, cocoa, orange rind and caramel. The burnished palate is fresh and lively, convincingly expressing the intrigue of this unconventional approach. Learn More

What a back-to-back pair of vintages! I assume one would have to go back to 2002 and 2001 to find two Screaming Eagles this compelling. The 2013 appears set for 25-30 years of longevity. There is something magical about this Oakville parcel on the valley floor just under the looming hillsides of such wineries as Phelps, Bacchus and Dalla Valle's Maya, and across the street from the Rudd Estate, Plumpjack, etc.
