WINE ENTHUSIAST: 90 Points (Publishing Dec 2018) 90 Corley 2014 Proprietary Red Wine (Napa Valley). This blend is nearly a third each of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, with a deep, dark oak profile and plenty of firm, chalky tannins. The flavors lean toward licorice and cherry, with a bit of coffee and toffee richness. —V.B. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JAMES SUCKLING RATING: 92 Points "A fine and focused red with berry and chocolate character. Medium to full body, polished tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink or hold." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESTAURANT WINE - **** Four STARS+ “Corley’s 2014 Cabernets (and blends) are very impressive wines, and among its best ever. The 2014 Propriety Red blend is wonderful: very full bodied and supple, it is a rich, complex wine with excellent balance and length. It is moderately tannic on the finish, and tastes of black currant, plum, rosehips, red licorice, cedar, and spicy oak. Warrants further aging. From estate vineyards in the Oak Knoll District.” JEB DUNNICK (Formally of Wine Advocate) “The 2014 Proprietary Red Wine checks in as a blend of close to equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc brought up in 505 French oak. It offers a perfumed complex style in its currants, raspberry, saddle leather and Provencal herb aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, elegant, and silky on the palate, with loads of charm, it’s best drunk over the coming 7-8 years.”
