Brassfield Estate Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, California Dark ruby/ Inky in color with a wide reddish rim. Strong nose of blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, light wood, dried fruits, chocolates and tobacco. Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs. Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, black cherries, light oak, licorice, light vanilla, dark chocolates, earth, peppercorn and tobacco leaf. Medium length on the finish with medium tannins and tangy cherries. This 4 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from California is drinking nicely now. Rich, chewy and extracted. Fruit forward on the nose, and much drier on the palate. Interesting, and easy drinking. Good right out of the bottle, and better after 45 minutes in the decanter, when the tannins show up. Might need a couple of years in the bottle to mature properly. Good by itself or with food, a good party wine too. 15.4% alcohol by volume. 90 points. $28.
