Brandlin Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

A gorgeous bouquet of violets, rose petals, and fresh currant on the nose. The wine is quite lush and round on the attack, featuring lovely blackberry and boysenberry jam, with hints of mocha, toffee, and Saigon cinnamon.

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.
