Sbragia Family Vineyards
Monte Rosso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Sonoma Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Spectacular moon mountain cab. I love Cabernet Sauvignon from this AVA. Good minerals and fantastic fruit on the palette. This is fantastic now and would age well in the bottle for a few more years. If you see this, grab it!

Blackberry, raspberry, black cherry, vanilla, licorice, cherry cola and oak. Great structure and velvety tannins.

Apr 26th, 2018Big and bold, as is the Sbragia way. But at this age, things are coming together really nicely. Nose is intense with ripe blackberry and maraschino cherry liquor. Baking spices, warm toasty vanilla, cocoa powder, eucalyptus and cedar. Palate is juicy and just a touch sweet. Acidity and tannin are both around a medium, softened and balanced by this bottles age. Unfortunately the finish is pretty short and clean. Regardless, this was a great pairing for a pan-seared NY strip with roasted veggies. Would be interested in trying this again in a few years.

Stunning. Rich but authentic, hedonistic but old school, concentrated yet herbaceous. Crème de cassis, currant, vanilla, black cherry, cherry tobacco, licorice, purple flowers and cedar. And it's from the Moon... Moon Mountain that is, on the western slopes of Mt Veeder. Monte Rosso is a 19th century NorCal vineyard that Morgan Twain-Peterson said must have been one of the greatest feats of wine-growing history. http://bedrockwineco.com/vineyards/monte-rosso-vineyard.html

Oct 14th, 20162009 vintage on the second day being open. This is delicious. Open and fruity with just the right amount of vegetal notes of sweet bell peppers and mushroom. There's a tiny hint of bitter chocolate on the nose but that fruit is just dominate. There's a balance on the palate between the acidity and tannin and mouthfeel that is just... pleasing. Man, this has really opened my eyes to what Sbragia can do.

Great balance and complexity. Oak wood chips and vanilla, cinnamon with some smooth elegant fruit, blackberry, blueberry. Delicate tannins, nice lingering finish.
