The top wine, the Jericho Canyon Proprietary Red, emerges from a vineyard northeast of Calistoga. The inky/purple-colored 2001 Jericho Canyon Proprietary Red offers up a sumptuous perfume of licorice, espresso roast, graphite, blackberries, and currants. Unctuously-textured, with tremendous purity, high tannin, and a long finish, it reminds me of the old style vintages of Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon from the late sixties to the mid-seventies.
This structured, nicely tannic, full-bodied wine made from hillside grapes is at a great point of maturity now. Leather, mint, cedar and potpourri aromas lead to full flavors or dark cherries, spearmint and dark chocolate wrapped in fine-grained tannins. Made from 44% cabernet sauvignon, 35% merlot, 18% cabernet franc and “assorted whites.
