A fine find from Texas, the Brennan Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon.

Brennan Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon – Tasty!

75% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Brennan and Soleado vineyards plus 25% Alicante Bouschet from the Diamante Doble vineyards in Comanche County, Texas. The wine was aged in a combination of American and French oak for 18 months and has just 0.1 g/L of residual sugar.

Sample submitted for review. The wine has an SRP of $30 and is available for as low as $16 (at least at Total Wine in Texas). 848 cases were produced.

From the bottle:

The 2017 Brennan Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon begins with a pleasing aroma of ripe blackberry and plum with a spicy, smoky note.

Tasting the easy to drink wine reveals a juicy, tasty Cab with some wonderful spicy, peppery notes. This is a really intriguing (and delicious) blend with the 25% Alicante Bouschet. With plenty of acidity, good balance and a food friendly nature, I can see this being quite popular and crowd-pleasing. And it gets even better as it has more air.

It ends dry and slightly tannic with lots of lingering tart fruit. Tasty!
