Sbragia Andolsen Vineyard 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, $22.99-$42.99, 91 points, poured core black grading burgundy purple/red at the clear wine ring and glass bowl of significant and sweating drapes.
The aromas needed some time with swirling and swishing to tease-out the lovely cedar potpourri and black currant jam bouquet.
Full-bodied with good acidity and firm grainy tannins managed flavors reflective of the bouquet.
Finished long and spicy with plum, a bit of wild black bramble fruit, and mint notes.
Alcohol was a potent 14.7%.
Paired perfectly with my roast beef dinner and hazelnut milk chocolate dessert; there are those that snidely sneer at this pairing, but not me.
