Brandlin Estate, Blue Shale, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mount Veeder 2024

Release date: January 2027

Description:

From the historic Brandlin Vineyard, first planted in 1926 on the rugged slopes of Mount Veeder, comes a powerful yet restrained expression of single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Rooted in fractured blue-shale soils of the Franciscan formation, these vines capture the wild elegance of one of Napa Valley’s coolest, most dramatic hillside sites. A touch of Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc adds depth and nuance, while 22 months in French oak brings polish to the wine’s mountain-born intensity. The result is a layered and complex Cabernet that honors nearly a century of heritage from one of Mount Veeder’s oldest continuously producing vineyards.
