2002 Viansa 'Agusto' Sonoma Barbera. Tastes like Cabernet so not overly impressed with the varietal "character". Super extracted style with black cherry, cassis, graphite and some lovely "brett" to impart leather and earth notes. Concentrated and firm with spicy oak but too much alcohol at 14.9%. I like the wine as it's well made but it's lacking some finesse. #wine #sonoma #sommelier #viansa #california
