Winemaker Notes

The 2013 Snowden Cabernet Sauvignon Brothers Vineyard is a classic Cabernet. Sometimes when I'm in the thrall of a great wine, I prefer not to single out tasting descriptors, in favor of general impressions of the spirit of the wine. The Brothers 2013 is focused and powerful. It is vibrant, brooding and balanced. It has mineral, savory length. Our entire family has worked so hard, and with the utmost integrity, to produce this wine. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

    The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Brothers Vineyard is ample with sweet tannin and notes of licorice, blackcurrants, graphite and earth. It is dense, powerful, yet at the same time well-balanced and pure, and exceptionally well-crafted. Give it several years of bottle age and drink it over the following 10-20 years.

    My first thoughts when I tasted the 2013 Snowden Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon from the Brothers Vineyard was, "This taste like the Napa Valley." Indeed, my palate memories came to the fore and recalled time-honored descriptors—ripe currants, full textures, sweet tannins, delicate balance, and generosity in the finish. Snowden Vineyards has made a beautiful and serious effort. Drinks nicely now. (Tasted: October 24, 2016, San Francisco, CA)

    Aromas of blueberry, spices and grilled meat follow through to a full body, soft and silky tannins and a earthy, sweet tobacco and berry aftertaste. Drink in 2018.

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.

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.
