Germain-Robin Brandy is an American brand founded in 1982 which incorporates cognac techniques and California-grown grapes in its production. In 2017, the brand was acquired by E.J. Gallo Winery. This re-release of its flagship expression was created with the help of the brand's co-founder Hubert Germain-Robin who worked alongside Gallo's master distiller David Warter. It is made primarily with California colombard grapes distilled in an alambic still. It aged in French Limousin oak for 7 years. Only 1400 6-pack cases available for 2020.

Floral caramel grapes nose. Caramel continues in palate. Goes in cognac direction. Light and silky. Mild finish. Very easy drinking, not too complex. A shelfer for the right price.
Solid brandy heavyily oaked and barrel aging contrasts nicely with sweetness of clean grape distillate. For the price not so great, otherwise would be a winner
What brandy should be… tannins without the pomace.
