  1. Brecon receives a Wine Enthusiast Best of Year!

    Brecon’s 2015 True Acacia Head makes Wine Enthusiast’s December Best of Year issue. Merry Christmas to those of you still holding on to this sold-out award winner! “Made in barrels that have acacia wood on the heads, this bottling initially shows aromatic lemongrass and cut-grass greenness before offering riper peach, pear and almond oil on the nose. It tightens up on the sip, where tart apple skins, green pear and light honeysuckle flavors arise.”

  2. Brecon's 2014 Petit Verdot receives a GOLD from Wine Enthusiast!

    Brecon’s 2014 Petit Verdot (Templeton Gap) scored 90 points in the November issue of Wine Enthusiast. “In Blackberry and black cassis meet with deep lilacs on the rich but somewhat single-toned nose of this bottling. The palate is bursting with fresh blackberrry juice, leveled by touches of cedar and pipe tobacco.”
