2008 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.
2008 Brandlin Cabernet Sauvignon - 91 POINTS
Is one of "18 Outstanding Napa Cabernets! This well-structured red is marked by a tight, flinty, minerally edge, yet nonetheless offers a complex core of dried berry, roasted herb, sage and cedar. Ends with the tannins giving the flavors tracti on. Best from 2012 through 2022."
