2006 Brandlin Cabernet Sauvignon
Rugged, isolated…the historic Brandlin Vineyard is located on a Mount Veeder ridge line overlooking Napa Valley. In the 1870’s, the Brandlins settled on these steep, rocky slopes becoming grape growing pioneers in the region. In 1926, with over 50 years experience, they staked their claim to the 170-acre ranch. This noble site remains home to many of its original vines and Chester Brandlin himself. Brandlin Vineyard’s sustainable viticultural practices also support plant and wildlife bio-diversity in the vineyard as well as the surrounding 132 acres of native oak trees and other indigenous vegetation.

"The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder (86% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot) is one of the finest wines of the vintage. Its dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by aromas of creme de cassis, licorice, forest floor, and floral undertones. The wine possesses layers of fruit in addition to full-bodied power, and plenty of well-integrated, velvety tannin. Drink this beauty over the next 10-15 years." - Robert Parker – December 2009
