Vinous

Brane-Cantenac's second wine, the 2016 Baron de Brane, is juicy, forward and flat-out delicious, all qualities that are enhanced by the strong presence of Merlot in the blend. Succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, tobacco and new leather develop in the glass, along with a kick of citrus-driven brightness that perks things up nicely. Above all else, though, Baron de Brane is a racy, fruit-driven wine to drink in its youth.
