Brandlin
Brandlin Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
About
Brandlin Estate has 49 acres of vines, with most nearing the two-decade mark. As our Cabernet Sauvignon vines have matured and evolved, so have Brandlin’s wines—offering ever-greater depth and complexity with each new vintage.
Terroir
Located high on the steep slopes of Mount Veeder, Brandlin Estate produces exceptional mountain grown wines. Our estate includes 49 acres of Napa Green Certified vineyard, located 900 to 1,250 feet above the fog line. Because of Mount Veeder’s mountainous terroir and location, our long growing season results in concentrated, perfectly ripened fruit. These intense grapes allow us to produce wines that express this rare and singular mountain site.
Vinification
Brandlin Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for 22 months in French oak (50% new).
Tasting Notes
It has a beautiful bouquet of plums, blueberries, exotics spice and dried flowers. This gives way to a medium to full-bodied, balanced red that has the tannic grip of the appellation, yet also plenty of fruit and texture.
Food Pairing
Perfect food pairings would be truffles, honey-roasted carrots or grilled red meat — especially venison, lamb or well-marbled beef.
