Classic scents of cassis and pencil shavings mark the nose of Snowden's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Brothers Vineyard, which also includes 1% Petit Verdot. Despite being labeled at 15% alcohol, it comes across as balanced and well-proportioned, with ripe—but not overripe—flavors and tannins, a smooth, velvety mouthfeel and a lush, lingering finish. It's even reasonably priced by Napa Cab standards.

A fruit-driven, polished style, but without being bombastic, as red currant and black cherry fruit flavors lead off and then meld seamlessly with singed cedar, vanilla and tobacco hints, which gain more prominence through the finish. Should age nicely. Drink now through 2036. 332 cases made.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Brothers Vineyard is dark and brooding in feel. Black cherry, plum, new leather, spice and espresso are front and center. Here, the fruit profile leans toward the darker end of the spectrum, and the oak imprint is quite a bit stronger. Rough, angular contours on the finish need time to meld together, but there is good substance throughout.
