Merchant's description

Sloan Estate is one of Napa Valley's most obsessive small producers — a 26-acre estate on the benchland above Rutherford that makes only a handful of wines in tiny quantities. The Asterisk is their second label in name only; in ambition and execution, it sits firmly in the same conversation as the flagship Proprietary Red. The 2015 is a blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, and it carries the vintage's signature: ripe, generously structured fruit underwritten by remarkable freshness for Napa.
