Peter Franus Brandlin Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

This Cabernet Sauvignon is praised for its complex and exciting profile, featuring blackberry and salt flavors, robust tannins, and a nuanced finish with Turkish spice and walnut husks. While some find it dry initially, others appreciate its long, satisfying conclusion.

This Cabernet Sauvignon from the esteemed Brandlin Vineyard presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its concentration and depth. The nose is a complex tapestry of blackcurrant, cassis, and graphite, interwoven with nuances of cedar and forest floor, hallmark traits of a distinguished Napa Valley Cabernet. On the palate, it reveals a robust structure with finely grained tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides balance and longevity. Flavors of ripe plum and dark chocolate are underscored by a subtle minerality, leading to a long, elegant finish. This wine exemplifies the quintessential character and pedigree of its terroir.
