“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.”
Jim Brand was born into the third generation of an Australian winemaking legacy with his family name synonymous with the world-renowned Coonawarra region. His life was dedicated to producing iconic wines from the family vineyards, with a passion and sincerity evident in every glass. This passion spoke much louder than his words, his influence felt long after his time passed.
In honour of Sam’s late father. The first release was from the 2005 vintage, the year that Jim Brand died. A combination of hand and machine picked fruit, aged in mostly French and Hungarian oak.
