Sloan Napa Valley Red Wine Rutherford 2021
The Sloan Proprietary Red 2021 is a distinguished Napa Valley blend, primarily featuring 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by 18% Merlot and smaller portions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Sourced from hillside vineyards on volcanic clay-loam soils, the wine showcases a complex bouquet of dark fruits, earthy undertones, and hints of spice, underscored by a refined structure and robust tannins. With a full-bodied profile and an elegant mouthfeel, it is aged for nearly two years in new French oak, ensuring depth and balance. This wine is crafted for longevity, promising remarkable aging potential.
The wines crafted by Sloan Estate are wildly popular and praised by professional critics and aficionados, yet the winery itself remains one of the most private and guarded in the New World. The ultra-prime 12 acre estate vineyard was established by David Abreu in the coveted Rutherford AVA, planted with Cabernet, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. When the initial 2000 vintage was released in 2004, it was clear Sloan Estate’s luscious, dense and complex Bordeaux Blends are not to be taken lightly. With a limited annual production of 600 cases, 100-point scores by Robert Parker, and a super-exclusive mailing list reserved for the most elite and long-standing oenophiles, amassing Sloan Estate wines is next to impossible; but Benchmark Wine Group has your back.
