“The 2018 Jim Brand Silent Partner Cabernet Sauvignon is from the Brand Family vineyards in Coonawarra. 2018 has yielded exceptional wines from Coonawarra, and this has that succulent fruit quality that works to extoll the virtues of the famous red dirt of the area. There are notes of cassis, blackberry, blueberry, iodine and nori. This is quintessential Cabernet, not shackled or smothered by the embrace of oak.”
