Ellman Family Vineyards Brothers Red Blend Napa Valley 2021

Ripe and full-bodied, this lets a range of warmed plum sauce, black currant preserve and black cherry reduction notes roll through. There’s an alder frame, a tarry spine and a violet- and iris-filled backdrop, with the floral edge blossoming nicely in the glass. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2026 through 2036. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 701 cases made.
