The Winery
Brand
BRAND begins with a premise — wines that root deepest where they’re grown and made are the ones that reach the highest. Christine O’Sullivan and Jim Bean came to Pritchard Hill to blend ageless principles with modern perspectives. Their goal is to make wines regarded among the best on the world stage and to share them with those who believe as they do. The BRAND Napa Valley wines are 100% estate-grown and estate-bottled, with their Pritchard Hill estate comprising three distinct parcels. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc are the only red varieties planted on the property and have been the focus of the wines since BRAND’s inception.
Tasting Notes
- WA95
- The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, which is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 19 months in 70% new French oak, represents 480 cases of sumptuous Cabernet Sauvignon. Fresh-roasted mocha-infused coffee notes interwoven with blackberry, cassis, blueberry and a touch of white flowers emerge from this opaque purple-colored, full-bodied, velvety smooth and luscious wine.
- V96
- Another magnificent wine, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is wonderfully alive and vibrant in the glass. Rich, layered and sumptuous - yet with a wonderful sense of freshness - the 2012 is all about balance. The interplay of intense fruit, aromatics, acidity and tannins is world class. It's as simple as that.
