Z Alexander Brown Uncaged Red Blend

Zac Brown has always been a man on a journey. Most know him for his music, yet his artistry and creative spirit are without boundaries. No matter where the adventure takes him, Zac has always remained downhome and truthful to his roots. His lifelong connection to the land and passion for bringing music, food, and people together was a natural path to wine.

Throughout the growing season, winemaker John Killebrew visited each vineyard block regularly. The fruit for Z. Alexander Brown was harvested during the cool early morning hours to ensure that the concentrated fruit flavors were captured at the peak of ripeness. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were de-stemmed, moved into stainless steel tanks and slowly warmed to fermentation temperatures. Following the completion of primary and malolactic fermentation, the wine was drained and gently pressed into American and French oak. The final blend for his boldly flavored wine was thoughtfully crafted by John and Zac as a result of multiple, hands-on tastings and blending sessions featuring a selection of the best lots of the vintage.

The owl is a guardian of the vine, and myths say it is present when the spirit is set free. The owl has a deep connection to nature for me, much like the pure connection wine has to the land.

Z. Alexander Brown Red Blend features a dark garnet color. Aromas of blueberry, caramel and toasted oak. The palate is bold and mouth-filling, stacked with concentrated layers of ripe dark fruit, black cherry and milk chocolate. Robust and full-bodied with excellent weight in the mid-palate. This complex wine leaves a lasting impression with a smooth, round and full finish.
