Tasting notes
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful, deep wine. Even with all of its natural intensity, the 2015 has enough shades of savory and mineral undertones to give balance and myriad shades of dimension. A rush of dark fruit, tannin and acid are wonderfully evocative of the rugged vineyards on this hillside site. This is a knockout wine from Brand.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon sports a very deep purple-black color and nose of cedar, cassis, blackberries and plums with some earthy and meaty notions plus a hint of yeast extract. Full, concentrated, rich, opulent and spicy in the mouth, it has a firm yet velvety texture and great persistence. Only 296 cases were made.
A huge inky wine, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon saturates the palate with masses of inky, super-concentrated fruit. Scents of menthol, licorice and spice develop in the glass. The 2015 is a very young wine that is still embryonic.
