Bold cabernet, great value wine.
Brassfield Cabernet, 2019
WINE PROFILE
Tasting Notes
Beautifully integrated oak and firm structure combine with Bordeaux profile aromas to create a superbly balanced wine. Aromas of black cherries and cinnamon highlight a palate ripe with juicy raspberry and blueberry. Accents of toasted baguette, mocha and fresh cedar carry through the finish.
Vineyard Notes
Our home ranch on the westside of the High Valley AVA has been known as “High Serenity Ranch” for over one hundred years. The blocks planted to this idyllic site include Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. Each block is comprised of ancient lakebed and alluvial soils from the surrounding mountain range. The transverse valley winds create some of the coolest sites in Lake County. The lower temperatures on the valley floor allow for diurnal temperature swings of more than forty degrees, enhancing flavor development while retaining a crisp acidity in the fruit.
Winemaker Notes
At Brassfield Estate, our winemaking emphasizes quality and the use of traditional handcrafted techniques, which create wines that have both power and finesse. We used aerative pump overs in stainless tanks to keep primary fermentation healthy. After sending wines to 25% new French Oak and 75% neutral barrels, we allowed our wines to undergo natural malolactic fermentation in our caves. The wine aged in barrel for 14 months before bottling.
