DESCRIPTION
Ian and Heather Brand founded I Brand Family Wines in Central Coast California in 2008. Ian’s first winery job was with Bonny Doon Winery; he then went to work for Big Basin Vineyards for four years before he and Heather decided to begin their own project. I Brand uses organic and sustainable farming practices. The nose presents a complex bouquet of graphite-dusted black plum and California chaparral after rain. The dark black plum leads the attack on the palate and quickly evolves into brighter cherry notes reminiscent of fine kirsch. Big balanced acid wraps around into neatly developed tannins and transitions into umami notes.
