An outstanding wine based on two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, and the rest Malbec and Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Preface Proprietary Red reveals a healthy purple hue as well as medium-bodied notes of darker berries, cedarwood, spice, and earth. The entry-level wine of the estate, it’s upfront and charming, has a solid sense of elegance, and should keep for at least 7-8 years or more.
