Inky purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is great.  Classic aromas of cassis, blueberries, dark chocolate and baking spices.  Full bodied.  Firm tannins.  Nice balance.  On the palate, this is delicious if still youthful.  Plenty of depth, it unwinds in the glass.  Flavors of cassis, blueberries, dark chocolate and spice.  Long finish.  Drink over the next twenty years.  This is great on its and will work well with big foods.  A nice choice with BBQ Brisket.

This is a Rosé made from 100% Pinot Noir.  Pale salmon orange in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with strawberries, light cherries and slight cranberries.  Medium bodied.  Slightly viscous.  On the palate, this is tasty with good energy.  Flavors of strawberries and cherries.  Easy to drink.  Good finish.  This is nice on its own and will work well with many foods.  A nice choice with Grilled Salmon but also a "Cold Pasta" dish.  Drink over the next few years.  

A bright and expressive Pinot Noir, this wine, comprised of clones 667 and 777, is full of bright cranberry, black cherry, Bing cherry, violet flower, macerated plum, pomegranate, and boysenberry. There is a vibrant acidity running through this, and the brief 11 months of French Oak aging provides a compelling textural component. The light tannic structure supports the whole of this wine offering a slight weightiness to the overall experience. 571 cases. ORIGIN: Sonoma Coast. ALCOHOL: 13.2%

2026 is an important year for the folks at Brandlin Estate because Henry Brandlin first planted grapes on Mount Veder 100 years ago. Exhibiting soft lemon-lime, mango, white peach, light kiwi, green apple and apricot with floral aromatics, there is also a line of minerality running throughout this wine. Aged 11 months in oak barrels gives this wine a tactile experience, a creaminess and a softness making it a great appetizer wine, or just to sip by itself.
ORIGIN: Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley. ALCOHOL: 14%.

Soft and unassuming, this Pinot Noir exhibits a quiet luxury. Texturally it is smooth and soft and almost belies, the vibrant fruit notes of blackberry, black and Bing cherry, steeped black tea leaf and fresh/cut garden herbs. The tannins and acidity are modest making for an enjoyable and haptic drinking experience. Comprised of 14 different Pinot Noir clones from the Quail Hill Vineyard, this is truly a wine that exceeds the sum of its parts.
