Introduction:
The 2019 Snowden Cabernet Sauvignon "Brother’s Vineyard" is a powerful yet refined Napa Valley Cabernet, offering deep concentration, elegant structure, and impressive aging potential. Sourced from a single vineyard site, this wine reflects both the richness of Napa fruit and the estate’s commitment to balance and terroir-driven expression.

Terrior:
Brother’s Vineyard is located on the eastern slopes of Napa Valley, benefiting from volcanic soils and high-elevation positioning. The combination of rocky, well-drained soils and diurnal temperature shifts results in a Cabernet with intense fruit concentration, firm tannic backbone, and fresh acidity.

Appearance:
Deep, opaque ruby with garnet edges, indicating both youth and aging potential.

Nose:
Highly aromatic, with layers of cassis, blackberries, and ripe plums, interwoven with notes of graphite, tobacco, cedar, and dark chocolate. Subtle hints of violet, crushed stone, and baking spice add further complexity.

Palate:
Full-bodied and structured, with a rich yet refined texture. Bold black fruit flavors of blackberry, black cherry, and currant are supported by firm tannins and bright acidity. Secondary notes of espresso, cigar box, and crushed herbs provide depth, while well-integrated oak lends a touch of vanilla and spice. The wine’s balance between power and finesse is a hallmark of its terroir.

Finish:
Exceptionally long and lingering, with persistent dark fruit, mineral undertones, and polished tannins that suggest excellent aging potential.

Overall Impression:
A sophisticated and structured Napa Valley Cabernet that combines richness with elegance. While it is approachable with decanting, this wine will reward patience, developing greater complexity over the next 10–15 years. Perfect for pairing with prime rib, grilled lamb, or aged cheeses.
