The Brown family have been in Napa since 1980. Siblings Deneen, Coral, and David began making wine in 1996. Raised by two medical professionals in a “Blue-Zone” household in Southern California, they all pitched in at their parents’ medical clinic. There, they adopted what would become a guiding principle in their wine business: Do no harm.
The creation of House of Brown was inspired by an extraordinary community of wine consumers who for over two decades had been finding themselves at home (and at ease) with Brown Estate, and in 2017 began assembling at the family’s then newly opened Brown Downtown Napa tasting room. House of Brown is 100% family-owned + 100% Black-owned, and the brand is women-led.
This red is an unusual blend of 50% cabernet, 25% pinot noir, and 25% Tempranillo grapes from Lodi, California. it’s certainly delightful, easy drinking & crushable red that is even better with a little chill on it.
Light body and crisp acidity meet lush fruit and spices. Leads with aromas of hibiscus tea, dried rose petal, pomegranate, and Maraschino cherry with subtle cinnamon, clove, and spiced plums. Intense flavors of dried cranberry & ripe raspberry make for a fleshy & fruit filled mid with lingering spice notes on the finish.
