Pritchard Hill pedigree without the Pritchard Hill markup. David Arthur has farmed its estate high above the Napa Valley floor for nearly forty years, and Proprietary Red is the house Bordeaux-style blend, weaving mountain-grown estate fruit with the best of surrounding Napa vineyards and aging it around 20 months in French oak. The 2017 leans on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Plush and mouth-filling now, deeper with a few years down. Serious Napa red for the Tuesday that turns into an occasion.

Bright cherry, red raspberry, baked cassis and plum, then anise, baking spice, garrigue and cherry cola. Soft, plush palate with fine-grained tannins and lively acidity. Long, silky finish of candied plum, tamarind and molasses.

Classic matches for a red like this: Grilled and roasted meats, hearty pastas, aged cheeses.

Nearly four decades of farming on the family's Pritchard Hill estate. Proprietary Red is the next-generation DAV wine, blended and bottled at the vineyard estate from mountain-grown Bordeaux varieties plus fruit from select neighboring Napa vineyards.
