Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Christine Havens
9.5

Wine of the night at #PBFW, the 2012 Brand is graced with power and potential. Enveloping, decadent aromas of steeped blackberry, blueberries, mocha, espresso, cedar and sandalwood waft from the glass. Firm, slightly grippy tannins and moderate acidity provides a solid foundation to the more luxurious, velvety aspects of this outstanding Napa Cab. I'd love to revisit this in another a decade or two. 485 Cases | Sample — 11 years ago

Excellent write up on this wine. Thank you for the notes I sell this in NYC and haven't had the luxury of tasting it yet, but their Brio has done well for me. I sold most of the cases brought in with my one sample bottle and a lot of hard work - that wine was no joke either. On a separate note, you left out the T in your website.. just an FYI.

Alas, those were not our work! My uncle Paddy puts on a good show when it comes to old, rare vintages.

Punches way above its weight class. Refreshing acidity. Bright fruit. Earth foundation. A very happy chianti, one of the best at this price point. — 11 years ago

Raspberry and blackberry nose with slight rose petal notes. Pomegranate red colour. Medium body with well balanced red and black berry fruit sweetness and acidity (medium plus). Mouthwatering juicy and tangy mouthfeel. On the palate is a ripe red raspberry and blackberry platter with features of ripe cherries and a medium minus feature of french oak foundation. Well structured acidity and fruit with medium minus presence of tannins. Personable of low sweetness strawberry purée from a weathered cedar plank goblet. This is an excellent Italian competitor of a Paso Robles Californian Zinfandel with shared DNA structure ( overseas family). Enjoy with pulled pork nachos or chipotle chicken with smoked cheddar pizza. — 12 years ago
