Notes on the Wine
The 2018 growing season gave us a rich, balanced, and elegant Brothers Cabernet. This powerful and layered wine is densely packed with black plums, pencil lead, cedar, resin and dark fruits. Long and dense, the wine lingers on the palate for minutes. Somewhat strict in its youth, the Brothers 2018 will benefit from time in bottle to open and show the full spectrum of its aromatic and textural potential.
Notes on the Producer
Through the 1980s, all of the Snowden grapes were sold to Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. Commencing in the early 1990s, the Snowdens began retaining grapes for their own wines – enough to produce 383 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon in 1993 and gradually growing to approximately 2,000 cases today. Commencing with the 2005 vintage, Scott’s daughter, Diana Snowden Seysses became the winemaker and she continues in that position today.
