B. R. Cohn Silver Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Cellar for up to 5 years. No need to decant before serving.

This big, bold Sonoma Cabernet opens with seductive cassis, black cherry, and crushed blackberry notes along with hints of fresh mint, dried violets and bitter chocolate. The first sip reveals soft tannins, a full body and ripe dark berry, burnt caramel and baking spice flavours. The intense character of this wine make it a great partner for hearty red meat dishes like slow-cooked ribs, beef bourguignon, or a prime steak served with fries.

Tucked in between the Mayacamas Mountains and Sonoma Mountain, B.R. Cohn winery has been producing exceptional small-batch wines since 1984. The property was purchased in 1974 by Bruce Cohn who was for 45 years the manager of rock-n-roll superstars the Doobie Brothers. Cohn bought the estate while looking for a home for his family away from the spotlight.

Before long Cohn took an interest in the property’s existing vineyard and began to be mentored by Charlie Wagner of Caymus. After enjoying success selling grapes to nearby wineries, in 1984 Cohn decided to start bottling his own wines and since that time his winery has picked up a slew of international wine awards and accolades.
