Sloan Estate Winery was founded in 1997 by Stuart Sloan. Located in the eastern portion of the Rutherford district in the Napa Valley, the vineyards are managed by viticulturalist David Abreu and winemaking has been the responsibility of Martha McClellan since 2003.
The flagship red blend has had an incredible run of form since the inaugural release from the 2000 vintage. In 2016, the blend is made up of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon with the balance Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. A wonderfully plush red with violet and chocolate notes.

The 2016 Sloan is dazzling. Soft and unctuous with no hard edges, the 2016 Sloan is just as impressive from bottle as it was from barrel. Sweet red plum, blood orange, spice, menthol and licorice are all melded together in a gorgeous, racy Cabernet Sauvignon that hits all the right notes. Unlike most top 2016s, Sloan can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring, although its true potential will only be unlocked with at least a few years in bottle. Spice, star anise, pomegranate and sweet red cherry overtones add an exotic flair.Antonio Galloni1st January 2020
