Heir Apparent helps you explore the possibilities of wines made from Napa Valley’s top properties but at far less cost than others from the same origins. Their 2018 Proprietary Red is centered around 52% Cabernet from a top-tier Coombsville Estate that goes for about $200. An NDA agreement will not allow us to divulge the exact location of the grapes, but once you taste it, all you’ll care about is how quickly you can get more of this “pleasure-bent yet classic,” as Jeb Dunnuck describes it.
This stunning 2018 blend balances Coombsville Cabernet’s power with the supple flavors of Merlot, from a prime St Helena vineyard that borders Rutherford, intertwined with Malbec from a secret site near the base of Spring Mountain.
The winemaking team ages this wine for around 20 months in high-quality Berger barrels, also used by Chateau Margaux. This wine is from an incredible vintage, so if you desire a wine that retails for and tastes like it should be at least double or triple the price, this one will surely delight you.

“The 2018 Red Blend Heir Apparent is also terrific. It has a complex, up-front, medium to full-bodied style that carries lovely black cherry, redcurrant, new saddle leather, camphor, and tobacco-like aromas and flavors. Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, it has a wonderful sense of elegance, light yet present tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish. Enjoy this pleasure-bent yet classic, balanced red blend over the coming 10-15 years.”

“Savory aromas and flavors of dried oysters and thyme complement the stewed cherries and cloves. It’s medium-to full-bodied with succulent, sleek tannins and umami notes. Juicy. Drink or hold.”

“The limited production 2018 Proprietary Red Wine blend shows a deep and dark ruby red appearance. The nose jumps out of the glass with fresh Asian spice aromas intermixed with plum confiture and blackberry note. On the palate, the wine shows its opulence in a brooding and emphatic way. The flavors are intriguing and mix blackberry, fresh red meat, intense violet extract and plum jam.”
