Brownstone Cabernet
Brooklyn roots, California grapes, a soft everyday Cabernet.
The story behind Brownstone
Brownstone is made by Scotto Cellars, a family company whose story starts in 1903, when Great-Great-Grandpa Scotto arrived from Italy and took work as a ship's caulker in New York. He made wine at home in a Brooklyn brownstone, and the label still carries that address. The family went on to open Scotto's Wine Cellars in New York.
Today the wine is produced in California from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes drawn from California growing regions, including the Central Coast. It is built soft and fruit forward, with mellow tannins and no heavy oak, so it drinks well the day you bring it home. We have poured it for value minded Cabernet shoppers for years.
