Description The Brand family is one of the most famous and respected in Australian wine, having been involved in winemaking since the 1850s. Sam Brand, fourth generation of the family is in charge of winemaking – and it's all going very nicely thank you. This Cab Franc is "effortlessly long and supple… immediately engaging. Fine dusty tannins and a lick of understated oak. Lots of dark chocolate and ripe black fruits. Beautiful palate weight allows the flavours to build with graceful elegance and deliver to a long finish. Mighty good wine for this price" (Ray Jordan) Amanda Yallop in The Real Review loves its "illicit aromas of sweet smelling plums and baking spices". Sam Kim, Wine Orbit is another fan: "…shows blackcurrant, dried herb, toasted nut and mixed spice aromas on the nose. It's equally attractive on the palate, displaying excellent fruit intensity backed by fine tannins, finishing long and succulent".
