Sbragia Monte Rosso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Deep garnet-black in color, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Monte Rosso has a powerful, earth and meat-led nose, revealing notes of black loam, chargrill and salami over a core of crème de cassis, Chinese five spice, prunes, incense and dark chocolate with a waft of menthol. The concentrated, full-bodied palate delivers rich, opulent black fruit preserves and exotic spice flavors, supported by a solid backbone of firm, grainy tannins and finishing with menthol and spice layers. Drink date: 2018-2030. Score - 93+. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW, robertparker.com, Feb. 28, 2017 )
