    SLOAN

    About SLOAN

    Founded by the eponymous Stuart Sloan, the Pan family purchased the winery in 2011 having been utterly bewitched by both the wines and the property itself for many years prior. The current team at SLOAN is a true all-star cast of vignerons including mythical consultant Michel Rolland and the hugely respected David Abreu who crafts some of the most desirable Chardonnays in the world.

    Viniculture

    Perched at an elevation of up to 900 feet on the Eastern hills of Rutherford overlooking the Napa Valley floor, SLOAN is comprised of 13 glorious acres of the finest terroir this region has to offer. Incredibly mineral-rich white tufa soil combines perfectly with the cooling maritime influence tempering the generous Californian sun. It is hard to imagine a more naturally harmonious situation from which to craft exquisite wines than this. Planted as relatively recently as 1997, this now legendary estate has ascended to the very highest echelons of fine wine in North America’s most famous region.

    SLOAN “Proprietary Red” is the flagship cuvée of this incredible producer, representing the apotheosis of both the terroir and winemaking prowess of the team here. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the grapes for this prestige wine are subject to ruthless selection thanks to the existence of a commendable second wine.

    Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Asterisk comes charging out of the gate with exuberant black and red cherries, warm cassis and raspberry pie scents plus hints of cigar box, Indian spices, rose hip tea and charcuterie with a faint waft of dusty soil. Full-bodied and firmly textured, with bags of red and black fruits, the palate is laced with loads of spicy accents, and it finishes long and perfumed.

    The practically perfect 2001 Sloan (only the second effort released by Stuart Sloan) is aging magnificently. Made from very young vines planted on the steep hillsides above the Auberge du Soleil in Central Napa Valley, it exhibits a dense purple color with only a slight lightening at the edge as well as a phenomenal nose of burning embers, white chocolate, espresso roast, black currants and graphite. Full-bodied with an expansive, broad, creamy texture as well as a voluptuous finish, the wine has shed a lot of its tannin and is just beginning to hit its plateau of full maturity where it should stay for another 15-25+ years. This is a great terroir and at age ten, the 2001 confirms the accolades I bestowed upon it eight years ago.

    Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 Proprietary Red needs a little coaxing to reveal slowly unfurling notions of warm black cherries, mulberries, redcurrants and blackberry compote with touches of licorice, tapenade, chargrill and scorched earth. Full-bodied, firm, grainy and packed with layers of black fruits and savory flavors, it has a firm, grainy backbone of very ripe tannins and tons of vivacity, finishing very long.

    Moving to the grand vin, the 2016 Proprietary Red is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon with the balance Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Tasting like a mix of the 2013 and 2014 with its incredible elegance and power, it reveals a deep purple hue as well as extraordinary notes of crème de cassis, crushed violets, lead pencil, and unsmoked tobacco. Ethereally textured, seamless, and full-bodied, it builds incrementally on the palate and is a monster of a wine that somehow stays light, graceful and elegant. It should hit maturity after a decade of cellaring and be a 40- to 50-year wine.

    Wonderful aromas of blueberries, blackberries, mushrooms, pine and blackcurrants. Some violets, too. Full-bodied, yet so refined and polished with wonderful fruit and a linear tannin structure that integrates beautifully into the wine. It’s so balanced and beautiful. Hard not to drink now, but better after 2023.

    The 2018 Sloan is a flat out stunner. Rich, dramatic and full-bodied, with striking energy, the 2018 is viscerally thrilling right out of the gate. Black cherry, plum, mocha, licorice and gravel all build as this towering, statuesque Cabernet shows off its pedigree. The 2018 is simply magical, and just as breathtaking from bottle as it was as a barrel sample last year. It is the very finest Sloan I have ever tasted. I can't wait to see how it ages.
