Sloan, Proprietary Red other_regions I sampled a mind-boggling arrayDeep garnet purple colored, the 2014 Proprietary Red needs a little coaxing to reveal slowly unfurling notions of warm black cherries, mulberries, redcurrants and blackberry compote with touches of licorice, tapenade, chargrill and scorched earth.
