Brassfield - Eruption Red Blend - High Valley
Overview: At Brassfield Estate, our winemaking emphasizes quality and the use of traditional hand-crafted techniques, which create wines that have both power and finesse. The fruit for this blend was harvested in the early morning to maximize quality. The various components of Eruption were fermented separately in small lots to enhance the varietal attributes needed to produce the perfect blend. This blend was then aged on both French and American Oak for 10 months for structure and character. This wine was lightly fined and filtered before bottling.
Tasting Notes: The fruit and structure of our Eruption Red Blend mirrors the rugged volcanic terrain on which these grapes are grown. Aromas of jammy blackberry, olallieberry, and plum are complimented by fresh cut cedar, and dried anise. Full bodied, rich fruit and spice flavors follow, with nicely astringent tannins for counterbalance.
Pairing: Lamb
Points: 91, Wine Enthusiast
Format/ABV: 750 ml/14.3%
In certain circumstances, a specific vintage may not be available. If this is the case, a comparable vintage of the same wine will be substituted for online orders. If shopping in store, please check the bottle for the appropriate vintage. If you have a question about a specific vintage that is in stock, please email [email protected]
