Winemaker Notes
One sign of a great wine is its magical tendency to vanish. The cork is pulled, the next minute the last drops are falling into a glass. My husband and I had this experience while enjoying the Brothers 2014 with buffalo steak. The 2014 Brothers is gloriously drinkable, with aromas of crème de cassis, cured meats, lavender, huckleberry jelly and blueberry – sweet and savory with structured, focused length.
