Trujillo 2017 Henry Brothers Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
$ 18199
Winemaker Notes
This select blend of 2017 Henry Brothers Reserve is an expression of not only
the Howell Mountain AVA, but the artful and unique blending of the five Bordeaux
varietals from a single site. This Cabernet blend delivers with authority amid its depth,
density and complexity. Upon opening, this wine is still a bit cocooned and shy. With
time and some air to relax it, this wine opens up with generous to blackberry, sweet
plum and black currant aromas. A nice touch of sweet vanilla and dark spices add to its
opulent aromatics. Firm, fine, sweet tannin gallantly hold this wine together but give
way to its rich flavors unfolding with blackberry, licorice and bittersweet coco. Perfectly
balanced in its structure to carry the wine along its journey to a long lingering finish.
I’m thrilled to once again create the Henry Brother Reserve Cabernet in the
2017 vintage. I describe this 2017 Henry Brothers Reserve Cabernet as . . . Big and
Bold and will generously deliver as it further develops in the bottle. Enjoyable now
with generous decanting but I do recommend additional cellar time. Drink; 2022 – 2032
