2022 Brandlin Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2022 Brandlin Cabernet Sauvignon showcases bold flavors and opulent layers of fruit. Enticing aromas of black cherry, black plum, and Dutch cocoa powder come to the forefront, while hints of bay leaf and savory spices linger in the background. The palate is broad and smooth, with luxurious, velvety tannins. Ripe blackberry and cassis mingle harmoniously with sweet tobacco and a touch of herbaceous depth, while a bright ribbon of red fruit adds tension and balance to the long chocolate-cherry finish.
