Browne Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Site Series Horse Heaven Hills

Overripe fruit, with a strong metallic note

Browne's Site Series Cabernet is sourced from several estate vineyards within the Horse Heaven Hills appellation, including Canoe Ridge, Alder Ridge and The Benches. Deep ruby in color, it is an intensely aromatic and flavorful wine, quite impressive when one considers its relatively modest price. Packed with black currants, dark bramble fruits, bittersweet chocolate, Kalamata olives, licorice and spicy oak, it is medium-to-full-bodied, freshly acidic and seamlessly alcoholic (14.3%). The tannic structure is there, but does not overwhelm the pretty …

This entices with blackberry and bramble aromas. It follows with juicy flavors of ripe blackberry, graphite and loam. This was a mouth full. Approachable now, but you could hold it. This would pair well with red meat or game. Very, very good. 90

Concentrated, jammy rendition of Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep ruby, some purple, many slow moving legs @14.3% abv. Interesting bordeaulesque aromas of blackberry, graphite, cedar and wood. Off-dry (!), medium(-) acidity, medium-medium(+) well-defined structured tannin, medium(+) alcohol and medium(+)-full body.

Good length, with dry tannic finish. Goes well with meaty dished, fails to engage. Not my style, lacks elegance, intrigue and …

Coffee dominated palate for me, some red fruits. Ok length, purple in glass.

PnP, fruit foward style with Black fruit but not over the top. Not bad, Good on the attack with fresh fruit, slightly bitter finish knocka it down a bit. Fair value

nice deep dark burgundy in color. wine had been decanted for about an hour. aromas of cedar, dried herbs, smoky dark berries and currants, oaky and some tobacco. flavors were very true to the nose. Tannins were firm and tight due to the youth of the wine and the small amount of petite sirah. additionally, I feel that the oak tannin also played a role in this. I feel that with age the oak tannin will over shadow the fruit …
