Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

One sign of a great wine is its magical tendency to vanish. The cork is pulled, the next minute the last drops are falling into a glass. The 2014 Brothers Vineyard is showing a distinctive and powerful flavor profile of classic, California-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, highlighted by the nuances of a unique site and vintage. Gloriously drinkable, with aromas of creme de cassis, cured meats, lavender, huckleberry jelly and blueberry – sweet and savory with structured, focused length.

Professional Ratings

94 Wilfred Wong of Wine.com
Another fine performance from one of Napa Valley's stalwart wineries, the 2014 Snowden Brothers Vineyard plays up nicely, with is fresh and frisky red currant aromas and flavors. The wine's brightness pair it equally well with a roast chicken or a grilled steak. (Tasted: October 30, 2017, San Francisco, CA)
93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Brothers Vineyard is 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot. This is a beauty and clearly the star of the red wine portfolio. Dense purple, with loads of cassis, blackberry, licorice and graphite, the wine hits the palate with considerable authority, impressive purity and only a hint of new oak (only 45% new barriques were utilized ). The finish was long, full-bodied and silky. This can be drunk now, or cellared for 20-25 years.

For three generations our family has been farming red wine grapes on our ranch located on the eastern slope of the Napa Valley overlooking the towns of Rutherford and St. Helena. Our property is in the heartland of vineyards of distinction and character; it touches both the Rutherford and St. Helena appellations, and the Howell Mountain appellation is a few hundred yards away. The vineyards are planted well above the valley floor, protecting them from temperature extremes, on well-drained perlite soils. The wines from this exceptional site are layered, powerful and harmonious. For fifty years we, the Snowdens, have been stewards of this vineyard. We invite you to discover our remarkable, world-class wines.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

View all products

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.

Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
