Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Red-skinned fruit and new leather aromas mingle with fresh cedar in our 2019 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. This complexity carries over into the palate with black cherry and cranberry wrapped in refined, structured tannins. A smooth and supple finish lingers on a rich plum note.
Vineyard Notes
Our Estate Vineyards are unique in their confluence of history, climate, elevation, and soil. We are located high above the shores of Clear Lake, California’s largest natural lake. Lake County has the cleanest air in state and was once one of the state's largest wine producing regions prior to prohibition. Our home ranch on the westside of the High Valley AVA has been known as “High Serenity Ranch” for over one hundred years and is located in one of only two transverse valley AVAs in California. High Valley’s orientation facilitates a massive diurnal temperature swing created by the tension between the pacific ocean’s upper marine layer and the warm sunny days of the mountainous terrain. This effect allows for rich, ripe flavors while retaining acid in the grapes and finished wines. High elevations force our grapes to form thick skins to protect themselves from intense sunlight. The valley and hillsides are comprised of a mix of soils. Franciscan series soils and weathered rock intertwine with recent volcanics spewed by the nearby dormant volcano, Mt. Konocti. The East side of High Valley boasts a volcanic cinder cone where roots dig deep, bringing structure and intensity into our grapes. Our Reserve Wines come from the best fruit our diverse Vineyards, planted on our 2900+ acre estate, have to offer.

Winemaker Notes
At Brassfield Estate, our winemaking emphasizes quality and the use of traditional hand-crafted techniques, creating wines that have power and finesse. Our fruit is carefully sorted and gently transferred, keeping whole berries intact. We keep our fermentations healthy with aerative pump overs in stainless steel tanks, or twice daily punch-downs in oak puncheons. After sending wines to 40% new French Oak and 60% neutral barrels, we allow our wines to undergo natural malolactic fermentation in our extensive wine caves. Each vineyard lot is fermented and aged separately before blending to make the best wine. This wine was stirred monthly on its lees to achieve body and texture and aged for 24 months in barrels before bottling.
