Tor Kenward Proprietary Red Oakville

95 points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2014 Proprietary Red from Oakville is 44% Cabernet Franc, 44% Petit Verdot and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a fabulous wine and a creative blend from Kenward. With a fabulous nose of forest floor, white flowers, licorice, incense, blackcurrant and blueberry fruit, this deep, sumptuous, full-bodied wine has fabulous intensity, low acidity and finely grained, integrated tannins. There is not much of it, but it is a beauty. It can be drunk now or cellared for another two decades. Tor Kenward is using his vast experience in the wine industry and impressive palate to find exceptional terroirs and produce fascinating wines that merit serious attention. His winemaking guru is Jeff Ames, who makes his own wines under the Rudius label...Kenward has an impressive array of 2014 reds, all of them showing as well as, or better, than I had predicted in my range of scores last year."

96 points in James Suckling - "A red with walnuts, cocoa, currants and spices. Medium-to full-bodied, very intense and linear. Lovely length and beauty. Such finesse. 44% petit verdot (Vine Hill), 44% cabernet franc (To Kolan) and 12% cabernet franc (To Kolan). So right now but will be glorious with bottle age."
