Description
I celebrate with you my 25th vintage of Brandlin Vineyard Zinfandel. Needless to say, it is a very emotional, evocative, and humbling experience. More than anything else, this vineyard and the wines I have produced from it truly define my life and career in the wine business.
These 90-year-old dry farmed vines on Mount Veeder always deliver!
Brilliant dark ruby, the nose of our 2015 is pretty, fun, and serious all at the same time. Berries and cream, cardamom, and rose petal entwine in this complex package. Lush and mouth-filling while the perfect tannins and weight lift the spice flavors to a lengthy and refreshing finish. Destined to last for many years.
