I. Brand & Family Cabernet Sauvignon "Fellom Ranch Monte Bello Road" 2021

"Fellom Ranch is located on the top of the Montebello Ridge outside of Saratoga, California, between 2000-2400 feet.  The vineyard overlooks the San Francisco Peninsula and Bay and the legendary Ridge Montebello Vineyard, with which it shares a border.  The modern vineyard was planted in the late 1970s and early 1980s by Roy (Bud) Fellom III.  We get the east and northeast facing portion, which is mostly Beringer selection from 1980 and 1982.  At the base of Montebello Ridge is the largest lime quarry in Northern California and the upthrusted seafloor that forms the Montebello and Black Mountain Ridges, unique to California.  100% Cabernet Sauvignon.  Fermented lightly crushed with native yeasts and a three-week maceration.  Aged in a new Stockinger puncheon and a neutral barrel."
