Item Description
2013 Brown Estate Napa Valley Zinfandel Magnum in a wooden box plus a Tour and Tasting for 4 Guests.
Beautiful, brilliant ruby core with delicate raspberry rim. A swirl of the glass induces cascades of subtle scarlet. Further coaxing opens evocative nose of ripe fruit with ethereal medium intensity. Notes of red cherry, black plum, and candied cranberry commingle with Brown Estate hallmarks of hibiscus blossom, pink grapefruit, clove, star anise, and Asian pear, followed by allspice, cinnamon, orange zest, and a hint of new leather. Succulent and extraordinarily juicy on the palate with dense concentration and rich mouthfeel, ripe with strawberry jam, vanilla, and delicate herbs de Provençe. Seamless integration of jammy juiciness, vibrant acidity, and delicate tannins. Drink now through 2030.
2013 Napa zin "Message on a Bottle" celebration magnum bears the following text:
Robert Louis Stevenson famously referred to wine as poetry in a bottle. We think wine actually may be the closest thing there is to time in a bottle. Because the fruits of our labor literally bear time stamps in the form of vintage dates, our wines are like time capsules reminding us of where we’ve been and where we’ve aspired to go, and marking the milestones we’ve reached along the way. With this 2013 vintage of our flagship Napa Valley Zinfandel we celebrate the return of our original Big Field vineyard, replanted in 2009, to the Brown zin blend – in concert with Chiles, Westside, Mickey’s & Rosemary’s. When you pull the cork, we hope you will discover inside this bottle, alongside echoes of poetry and traces of time, a delectable symphony of music to your palate. And as you partake of these mystical pleasures, raise your glasses aloft and recite thissimple toast: “To wine!”
