Winemaking Notes:
A gorgeous bouquet of violets, rose petals and fresh currant on the nose. e wine is quite lush and round on the attack, featuring lovely blackberry and boysenberry jam, with hints of mocha, toff ee and Saigon cinnamon. Our 2014 is 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and rounded out with 10% Cabernet Franc, 7 % Malbec and 6% Petit Verdot all from our rugged, picturesque Brandlin Estate Vineyard on Mount Veeder. - Steve Rogstad

Lively, green notes on the nose, complemented by a welcome rigidity and lack of flab on the palate. It is robust with firm tannins coated in a core of ripe fruit. Subtle for a mountain wine, with some elegance and persistence. - Decanter Magazine 90 Points
