Enamored with the estate Merlot, Baldacci Family Vineyards winemaker Michael Baldacci set out to craft a Napa Valley cuvée showcasing the five traditional Bordeaux varieties. The result is the Proprietary Red Blend 2021, a well-structured berry- and baking spice-laden wine fusing 30 percent Merlot, 27 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 percent Cabernet Franc, 15 percent Malbec, and eight percent Petit Verdot.
