Heir Apparent Proprietary Red 2016 | Plush, Juicy & Spicy | Made for Steak
The Heir Apparent Proprietary Red 2016 delivers a classic, bold Napa Valley blend. While offering red fruit aromas with currant, red raspberry, blackberry, and powdered chocolate. Soft tannins lead to a long, broad finish. This cries out for red meat with an herbal twist. Think New York steak with thyme and garlic butter. Oh my…run, don’t walk for this pairing!

An Unfair Advantage
If all wines were created equal, then their flavor profiles would be rather boring. Luckily, that is generally not the case—especially when it comes to proprietary red blends which allow winemakers to craft signature wines with the finest fruit they can get their hands on. As the wine opens up, these flavors are balanced with soft tannins, tangy acidity, and a long finish that is a great compliment to a wide range of comfort foods and spicy cuisine.
