Wine Advocate: 93 Points
Classic scents of cassis and pencil shavings mark the nose of Snowden's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Brothers Vineyard which also includes 1% Petit Verdot. Despite being labeled at 15% alcohol it comes across as balanced and well-proportioned with ripe?but not overripe?flavors and tannins a smooth velvety mouthfeel and a lush lingering finish. It's even reasonably priced by Napa Cab standards. Published: Jul 03 2024

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Brothers Vineyard is dark and brooding in feel. Black cherry plum new leather spice and espresso are front and center. Here the fruit profile leans toward the darker end of the spectrum and the oak imprint is quite a bit stronger. Rough angular contours on the finish need time to meld together but there is good substance throughout. - By Antonio Galloni on December 2023
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
A fruit-driven polished style but without being bombastic as red currant and black cherry fruit flavors lead off and then meld seamlessly with singed cedar vanilla and tobacco hints which gain more prominence through the finish. Should age nicely. Drink now through 2036. 332 cases made.
Decanter: 91 Points
Winemaker Diana Snowden Seysses blended 99% Cabernet Sauvignon with 1% Petit Verdot from the Brothers Vineyard a 4.4ha site atop volcanic soils at 251m on an eastern bench in southern Napa. Aged for 19 months in 30% new French oak. Native yeast fermented bottled unfined. A medium-bodied Cabernet with grainy tannins a dusty mineral bouquet cassis and black currant fruit and emerging blue fruit and violets on the toasty cedarwood finish. Pleasant and easy-drinking.
