Brown Estate Description
Chaos Theory began as a one-off (and back then irreverent) blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel that David created for our first participation in the annual Premiere Napa Valley trade auction some 15+ years ago. Over the years, it become a shape-shifter, each vintage its own unique blend reflecting the nature of our journey in the world of wine — a constant adventure that reminds us year in and year out that no matter how random or chaotic conditions may seem, amidst the mayhem there is reason, if not always rhyme… and from each season, great wine. For this vintage no. 18, produced from fruit sustainably farmed in Sonoma Valley, Chaos Theory comes of age, moving stylistically in the direction of a Bordeaux-style blend.
37% Cabernet Franc; 21% Cabernet Sauvignon; 21% Zinfandel; 13% Merlot; 8% Barbera
Nose: Maraschino cherry, red licorice, effervescent citrus, rose garden, chamomile blossom, Italian leather, and creme de cassis followed by cardamom, clove, cinnamon, churned cream, fresh vanilla, and a touch of graphite.
Palate: Full body with juicy, creamy mouthfeel and supple tannins.
