The Brassfield Estate 2019 Eruption is a smooth, round wine with rich fruit driven aromas of blackberry, Bing cherry, cedar, vanilla and caramel. Deep ruby in color with a lush mouthfeel and an endless finish, this delicious wine leaves you wanting another glass. Excellent on its own or perfect with grilled meats and barbecue.
One of only two transverse valley AVAs in California, the massive diurnal temperature swings allow for longer hang times and better acid retention in the juice and finished wine. Though this Lake County growing region was part of one of the state's largest wine producers before Prohibition, a rare few wineries are privileged to call it home today. The largest natural lake in California, Clear Lake, wraps around the AVA. And the region boasts the cleanest air in the state.
