Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: From the original Oakville estate, the 2013 Proprietary Red (which spends most of its time in T-5 Taransaud as well as Darnajou new oak) is a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot. It is a magnificent wine, tasting like a Pauillac from Oakville. The wine has notes of cedar wood, fruitcake, graphite, incense and charcoal embers interwoven with blackberry, cassis and unsmoked cigar tobacco. Full-bodied and multi-layered, with exceptional purity and depth.

• Vinous: The 2013 Futo opens with exquisite aromatics that give the wine gorgeous lift and presence. Mocha espresso raspberry jam graphite leather and cedar wrap around the palate. Deep implosive and beautifully textured throughout the 2013 is a total model of class. Today the 2013 is dark brooding and in need of cellaring but it is a special wine. The blend is 59% Cabernet Sauvignon 35% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot with the Franc particularly expressive at this stage.

Producer Information

Futo Wines was established in 2002 by Tom and Kyle Futo of Wichita, Kansas. The Futo estate vineyards and winery are located in the western foothills of the Oakville appellation. There are five distinct estate vineyard blocks that span more than half a mile along the hillside. Cabernet Sauvignon is the predominating varietal, though several acres consist of Cabernet Franc, as well as a bit of Merlot and Petit Verdot. Since 2005, the best fruit from the estate is vinified, culminating in a wine they simply call “Futo.”
