Sloan Proprietary Red 2009 1.5L
The Winery
Sloan Estate
The wines crafted by Sloan Estate are wildly popular and praised by professional critics and aficionados, yet the winery itself remains one of the most private and guarded in the New World. The ultra-prime 12 acre estate vineyard was established by David Abreu in the coveted Rutherford AVA, planted with Cabernet, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. When the initial 2000 vintage was released in 2004, it was clear Sloan Estate’s luscious, dense and complex Bordeaux Blends are not to be taken lightly. With a limited annual production of 600 cases, 100-point scores by Robert Parker, and a super-exclusive mailing list reserved for the most elite and long-standing oenophiles, amassing Sloan Estate wines is next to impossible; but Benchmark Wine Group has your back.
Summary
The 2009 Sloan Proprietary Red is a distinguished Bordeaux-style blend from a small vineyard in California, known for its exceptional quality and cult status. Crafted mainly from Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is aged for about two years in new French oak, contributing to its rich character. On the palate, it reveals an array of flavors including blackberry, cassis, and hints of mocha, complemented by spices and cedar. The tannins are notably soft yet structured, offering a plush mouthfeel. This full-bodied wine combines concentration with elegance, and its vibrant acidity adds to its freshness. With the potential for long-term aging, it reflects the meticulous craftsmanship behind its creation.
