2007 BRANDLIN Cabernet Sauvignon
Passion, Heritage, Integrity... Brandlin Vineyard is a place steeped in history. The Brandlin family first settled the area in the 1870s, and planted the first vineyard in 1926, pioneering this Mount Veeder wine-grape growing site. The release of the 2007 vintage truly honors this family’s heritage.

"A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, the 2007 BRANDLIN Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder exhibits complex aromatics of plums, licorice, cassis, charcoal, and flowers. This dense purple-colored wine cascades over the palate with sweet, velvety tannins, a hint of minerality, and youthful vigor and exuberance. Impressively concentrated, deep, and long, it will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring, and last for 20+ years. These are top-notch efforts!" – Robert Parker – December 2009
