title: Sbragia 2006 Cimarossa Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Howell Mountain)
description: Ed Sbragia is making some of the most interesting single-vineyard Cabernets in California. This one, from Howell Mountain, shows the density and power that typify all his wines. Although it's thoroughly dry, it tastes almost sweet in grilled blackberry marmalade flavors, balanced with good acidity and wonderfully fine tannins. Feels like it has the capacity to age for decades.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Cimarossa Vineyard
