Tasting Notes

Heir Apparent is spearheaded by ambitious Dwight Bonewell. Through his vision, Dwight has created an Ultra-Luxury Napa Cab that sources fruit from some of Napa's most prized vineyards. You can pay hundreds of dollars for a bottle of Scarecrow or Cakebread or you can seize the moment and capture this magnificent Bordeaux blend available for a fraction of the original SRP!

That's where we come in, finding Ultra-Luxury brands that sell to a small lot of high-net-worth clients who have an excess of wine. The Heir Apparent Proprietary Red Napa Valley is the essence of this promising vintage and the continuation of the rich history of Napa Valley red wines. 

A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot, the limited production Proprietary Red Wine blend shows a deep and dark ruby red appearance.

The nose jumps out of the glass with fresh Asian spice aromas intermixed with plum confiture and blackberry notes. On the palate, the wine shows its opulence in a brooding and emphatic way.

The flavors are intriguing and mix blackberry, fresh red meat, intense violet extract, and plum jam.

Reviews

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2022 Proprietary Red waltzes out with showy notes of kirsch, wild blueberries, and fresh plums, plus suggestions of lilacs, fragrant soil, and cinnamon stick. The full-bodied palate is plush and plump with bags of juicy red and blue fruit flavors and a lively lift on the finish. ~94 The Wine Independent
