2007 Branham ‘Resolution.’ Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

WSI – 93 In concert with the rough times, the story of this wine began, and proceeded to get much, much worse. The joyful “resolution” that was reached at the ending of the story, however, humbly reminded all that even in the darkest moments, everyone working together can accomplish amazing things. This 100% Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from a couple of famous yet anonymous vineyards is at a tremendous value. Wonderfully ripe and intense, with layers of currant, black cherry, anise, sage and cedary oak. Well-integrated tannins provide an excellent balance to the rich flavors. Only 190 cases resolved. Drink now-2022.
