“The 2018 [Proprietary Red] Estate Board & Batten is quite a bit darker in profile than the 2017 tasted alongside it. Succulent black cherry, plum, lavender, spice, menthol and licorice bring out the more virile, brooding side of Zinfandel. Silky tannins and plush, expressive fruit give the 2018 quite a bit of immediacy and overall appeal.”
