2021 Brand & Sons Old Town Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Totally opaque black as night core with a dark red hue. Delightful red to black currant and ripe mulberry scents laced with bay leaf sail out of the glass followed by hints of dark chocolate, vanillin cedar, tobacco and spice. Medium bodied and showing no shortage of richness and flesh, the palate is layered with ripe red to black currant fruit, mulberry, dark chocolate and spicy vanillin cedar. Subtle earth and bay leaf elements lie underneath. Seamlessly integrated fine grained tannins. Excellent depth and power with a long sumptuous finish that still manages to retain the varieties trademark refinement and polish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 14%
Other Reviews…..
This is a dramatic, tannic, bold-fruited red wine with length – not to mention quality – to burn. There's both an elegance and a minerality in play here but brute, impressive force remains the main message. It's another outstanding release from a producer that has hit the ground running in the most emphatic of ways. Drink by 2042.
