Ian Brand makes the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Old Vine from a 900-acre ranch outside of Gilroy. Sumptuous, supple, and slatey throughout, it has tension and texture, showing Brand's roots in making wines of an old school style through modern winemaking. Dried herb, currant, and dusty tannins combine around a medium-bodied, highly structured mid-palate of elegant and finesse.
