Sbragia Family Vineyards
Andolsen Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Disjointed and all over the place. The only way I can describe it is "out of tune." A little dark chocolate and cassis, mixed with underripe strawberry and dill. Barnyard, drying paint, and orange juice concentrate occasionally flare up. All that said, this has me curious to try the wine in a good vintage.

Aug 9th, 2015A great effort for a 2011 Sonoma Cabernet. Obviously a tough year, they roughed it out. This could stand to rest another year or so, but shows potential so far. Nice tannin and acid with a wood profile.

Mar 19th, 2015Dark purple color. Aromas of sage, cherries, vanilla, and toast. Additional flavors dried cherries, chocolate, and cassis. Big tannins, round mouthfeel. Long finish. Excellent! Makes me miss Sonoma!
