How Was It?
About
90 Points - Wine Enthusiast This is a concentrated Cabernet with aromas of black cherry, black currant, briar, earth, and a hint of mint surrounded by toasty French oak, anise and cedar. Extended aging for 24 months in the best tight-grain French oak barrels produces a wine with balance, complexity and a lush, elegant finish.
From the Producer
Entertainment world success notwithstanding, Bruce was eventually drawn back to the beauty of wine country. To keep some sanity and preserve quality of life, he purchased an old dairy in Glen Ellen in 1974 that evolved into Olive Hill Estate Vineyard, so-named for the property’s grove of 140-year-old French Picholine olive trees. Bruce purchased books on viticulture and read them during long periods of traveling with the band. He soon became intensely involved with all aspects of growing grapes, from planting and pruning to grafting and trellising techniques. A decade after taking ownership of the land and having great success selling grapes to other wineries, Bruce started B.R. Cohn Winery at Olive Hill in 1984.
