2021 Jim Brand ‘Pursuit’ Cabernet Sauvignon
The Brand family legacy dates back to 1852, stretching over six generations. Today, Brand & Sons is owned and managed by fourth generation vigneron Sam Brand, producing boutique wine using high quality products from select vineyard sites across South Australia.
The Jim Brand range has been produced by the Brand Family as a tribute to Jim and the fulfilment of his life-long dream. The range of limited release, premium wines are sourced from the Brand Family’s iconic vineyards in the very heart of Coonawarra.
The Pursuit Cabernet Sauvignon is the highest quality in this range with a retail price of $50 a bottle. The name comes from Jim's endless pursuit for quality and with accolades such as 96 Points from Wine Orbit, 96 Points from Ken Gargett and 96 Points from Wine Review Simple they have done him justice.
Do you have that really outgoing friend that never stops? Well this is them in a wine!- Bold and full of dark forest fruit flavours. Hints of mint and cedar oak give it a regional twist. On the palate, ripe plum, dark berry, and blackcurrant take the lead, but don't overpower the tastebuds. The finish is simply superb, with impressive length and a dry finale. It's a perfect balance of strength and self-control, showcasing how it's done for other wines.
