I Brand and Family Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon Bates Ranch Vineyard 2022
I Brand and Family Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon Bates Ranch Vineyard 2022 is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Bates Ranch sits at the far southern tip of the Santa Cruz Mountains, near Mount Madonna, planted in the early 1970s and dry-farmed on a steep slope well above a thousand feet. It's a historic Cabernet site whose fruit went into some of the region's benchmark bottlings decades ago, and Ian Brand treats it with the seriousness it deserves. This is emphatically not valley-floor Cabernet: no plush, no chocolate, no weight for weight's sake. Instead you get tart red currant and black cherry, tobacco leaf and forest floor, framed by firm, faintly rustic tannin and real acidity. Old-school California Cab, and it will reward some patience.
