2007 Brenda's Vineyard Cabernet
Tasting Notes
The exceptional quality of the 2007 vintage is reflected in this wine’s vibrant profile. Aromas of ripe blackberry, violet, and fresh sage lead to a palate that balances fruit and structure. Bottle aging has introduced nuances of truffle, dried rose petals, and a hint of spice. The tannins remain firm yet approachable, supporting a lingering finish.
This wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve its character. Natural sediment may occur.

Named in honor of my mother, Brenda Baldacci, who embodies wisdom, beauty, and grace, this wine captures my attention with each vintage. Every vineyard block has a unique personality, and throughout the growing season, I focus on the blocks that show the most concentrated and consistent fruit profile. During fermentation, I watch for deep, dark color and evolving complexity. The wine is then aged in hand-selected French oak barrels with a medium to heavy toast that complements the rich fruit.The tannins from the fruit intertwine with the oak tannins to create a texture that is both seductive and captivating. This is a wine to be savored and set aside for life’s most significant moments. It is both a celebration and an homage in a bottle.
—Michael Baldacci, Winemaker
