Brandlin Estate Cuvee Red 2022
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
Estate Cuvee Red is aged 22 months in small French oak barrels (33% new)
Tasting Notes
Estate Cuvée is a blend of four Bordeaux varieties, Balancing the vibrant violets and lavender notes of Cabernet Franc with the rich, deeper tones of cocoa and mocha from our Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine allows the vineyard's distinctive character to shine through every sip. The brighter fruit characters of the Cabernet Franc's lively raspberry and persimmon intertwine seamlessly with the darker, sultry notes of blueberry and black currant from Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. The ample, mouth-coating tannins pave the way for a lingering, ever-resolving finish.
Food Pairing
It is best paired with roast or grilled beef, lamb and veal.
