The deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Proprietary Red Sugarloaf Mountain is composed of 55% Cabernet Franc

This is actually aromatically similar to the Richebourg at this early stage

As the description suggests this is pretty awkward and it’s hard to see time fixing the shortcomings

vibrant and utterly delicious flavors that possess good balance and just enough finishing structure to suggest that this should reward a few years of cellaring

Keller is convinced of the ability to achieve the same sort of balance and expressiveness in his own sites

Charles Heidsieck, Reserve Mise En Cave other_regions_australia The deep garnet-purple colored 2016(L6042811646) Green gold. Vibrant citrus and pear aromas, with complicating herbal and floral accents. A chewy, medium bodied Champagne with orange and lemon flavors, a hint of smoke and a buttery note that carries through the finish. Nicely balanced between bright and rich qualities, and persistent on the aftertaste. Josh Raynolds
