The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Monte Rosso Vineyard (100% Cabernet Sauvignon that achieved a whopping 15.4% natural alcohol) reveals a dense ruby/purple color as well as copious aromas of red and black fruits, licorice, earth and spice. Medium to full-bodied without the textural impact and finish promised by the 2012, it is a very good effort for the vintage, and should drink well for 8-10 years.
