wines born, raised, and made on pritchard hill.

the 2021 vintage

The BRAND Napa Valley 2021 vintage is the first vintage since 2019. It’s the culmination of three years of hard work, and all the inspiration behind it. 

It’s wine made modern once more–our intent is to move wine forward by revisiting first principles every time. It’s wine of it’s place (100% Pritchard Hill), made over 1100+ days of obsessive attention to every detail. Most importantly, it’s wine by and for all the BRAND believers we hope to know.

Power. Wild grace. Pure Pritchard Hill.

In theory, a classic Cabernet Sauvignon to lay down.

In practice one we’re likely to drink sooner. The purest expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from our estate vineyard and winery on Pritchard Hill. Selected from the best barrels. Crafted to reflect the power, wild grace, and finesse of our vineyard. Most importantly, made here in our own winery, where thousands of small decisions go into making a wine that stands apart.

“Right up there, with some of the best Napa Valley wines made in those years…shimmery wines emphasizing brightness and perfume…” – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent

the 2021 brand napa valley proprietary blend

Bold elegance. A BRAND hallmark. 

Crafted for complex counterpoints, elegant and electric, as resonant as a classic Cabernet Sauvignon, yet unlike anything you’ve tasted before.  

From our estate vineyard and winery on Pritchard Hill, a showcase for the richest and most beguiling estate Cabernet Franc. The deeply layered aromatics and supple texture of Cabernet Franc blend with select barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon to create a vibrant wine of bold elegance. Most importantly, it’s made possible because we make it here in our own winery, where thousands of small decisions go into the bottle you see before you.

“The Cabernet Franc-dominant Proprietary Blend is genuinely singular and simply electric.” – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent

This wine is an energetic blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Cabernet Franc from our organically farmed Vineyard N°95 located adjacent to the winery at 1200 feet above sea level. The BRAND Vineyard N°95 Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for 20 months in French oak barrels with minimal handling and then bottled unfined and unfiltered.
