Monte Rossoという畑の単一もののCabernet Sauvignon。こちらの畑は、結構高い場所にあるので、これは正にソノマ版の山カベ(⌒▽⌒)。

 

骨格感と育ちの良さが印象的でした(⌒▽⌒)!

Monte Rosso Vineyardについて

(http://www.sbragia.com/media/17165/sbragia_monte_rosso_all_accoladels.pdf)

I’ve loved the Cabernet from Monte Rosso Vineyard for as long as I can remember, and I consider myself lucky that my good friend Mike Martini – whose family bought the ranch in the late 1930’s –continues to share a couple of blocks with me every year. With elevations that range from 900 to 1,200 feet, the aptly named (by Mike’s grandfather) Monte Rosso is a classic mountain vineyard, resting firmly on the southwest side of the Mayacamas mountain range in the Sonoma Valley AVA.

Sitting above the fog line with undulating hillsides, the vineyard’s iron-rich soils are red, rocky and well drained. Vines struggle for nutrients here, and the rich concentrated fruit shows it.
