Brea Wine Co | Cabernet Sauvignon | Margarita Vineyard, Paso Robles, CA | 2021
BREA Wine Company is a collab between Chris Brockway of Broc Cellars and Tim Elenteny of Elenteny Imports. The idea is to make site-specific, terroir-driven, and sustainably farmed wines in California. While avant-garde winemakers explore unique varieties, BREA offers classic bottlings like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir into the Low Intervention movement.
Building strong relationships with farmers and selecting vineyards with top-quality grapes, BREA produces accessible, high-quality wines that are both wallet-friendly and ready to drink, yet suitable for short-term aging. They aim to reintroduce classic varieties to open-minded wine enthusiasts.
Their seventh vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon from Margarita Vineyard in Paso Robles reflects a less-oaked, moderately low-alcohol approach, breaking from the typical California style. Situated at 1,000 ft. elevation, 15 miles from the Pacific Ocean, the vineyard's maritime climate offers a longer growing season for a delicate, mineral-infused Cabernet expression. Balanced acidity and mild tannins make this wine a unique and delightful California Cabernet!
