Damien, Resama Proprietary Red Wine, 2021

Damien Wines is essentially a rebellious passion project, a tiny operation of just 150 cases, where Napa veteran Charles Bartlett throws the rule book out of the window. This isn't mass-produced juice; this is a handcrafted love letter to the North Coast, blending low-yielding parcels from trusted plots. You may ask, "Why should I buy this?". Well... the 2021 is a masterclass in balance, built on a structure as steadfast as a bank vault yet draped in the alluring, opulent fruit of a velvet smoking jacket. This isn't just a blend; it’s labelled 'Proprietary Red' precisely because it defies easy categorisation, offering a modern, vibrant expression that connoisseurs know represents an elusive, hard-to-find quality that genuinely sets it apart.
