Bright medium yellow. Musky aromas of butterscotch and creme brulee.
The terrific 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Godspeed Vineyard demonstrates what Ed Sbragia can accomplish with fully ripe fruit. It exhibits blueberry, black raspberry, mulberry, graphite and floral notes, medium to full-bodied power, sweet tannin and a layered, compelling richness as well as finish. It should drink beautifully for 15-20 years
Sbragia continues to purchase fruit from the Gallo Family-owned Monte Rosso Vineyard, one of the most iconic sites in Sonoma. The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Monte Rosso Vineyard is one of the stars of this much maligned, irregular vintage. Its deep, inky/blue/purple color is accompanied by scents of loamy soil, licorice, roasted herbs, blackcurrants and blackberries. This beautiful, full-throttle 2011 eclipses the vintage’s reputation and overall quality.
