title: Brander 2013 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Ynez Valley)
description: Pure purple fruit aromas arise on the nose of this bottling by pioneer Fred Brander, as do heady cocoa, leather and herb-crusted beef roast scents. Fresh black currant and espresso cream flavors show on the palate, with a chalky tannic structure that steadily reveals more layers of flavor, from blackberry to dried dill.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Reserve
