Brassfield Estate Winery, High Valley (Lake County, California) High Serenity Vineyard, Block 14 Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 ($65)

Under the artistry of winemaker Carlos Veladez, Brassfield Estate showcases the potential of the High Valley AVA and Lake County with his stunning 2021 “Block 14” Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine demonstrates remarkable craftsmanship and complexity, delivering structure and depth. The nose is fresh and inviting, with layered aromas of mulberry, plum, cassis, dried herbs, and vanilla. On the palate, flavors of blackberry, boysenberry, blood orange zest, and bittersweet chocolate shavings unfold gracefully, complemented by mouthwatering, well-gripped tannins. The result is a beautifully balanced Cabernet Sauvignon with a long, memorable finish.
