Brown Estate “Chaos Theory” Red Blend 2022

The Vineyard
Brown Estate "Chaos Theory" is a vibrant red blend born from the vision of Rodney and Daphne Brown, owners of Napa Valley's only Black-owned winery. Sourced from their estate vineyards, this wine reflects the unique diversity of Napa Valley's terroir. The vineyards boast a variety of soils, ranging from volcanic to alluvial, and benefit from the region's distinct microclimates. Brown Estate's meticulous sustainable farming practices ensure the grapes capture the essence of this famed wine region.
The Wine
This captivating blend, typically composed of Zinfandel as the lead varietal, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Merlot playing supporting roles, embodies the complexity and richness that Napa Valley is known for. The 2022 vintage displays a deep ruby color and explodes with an alluring aroma of ripe dark fruits like blackberry and black cherry, interwoven with notes of spice, vanilla, and a touch of toasty oak. The first sip reveals a full-bodied and robust wine with a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins. The flavors of dark fruit are complemented by hints of mocha, cedar, and a touch of earthiness, creating a complex and intriguing profile. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of fruit and spice.
