TN: 2004 Sbragia Family Cabernet Sauvignon Andolsen Vineyard

2004 Sbragia Family Cabernet Sauvignon Andolsen Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Dry Creek Valley (8/25/2007)Bright purple tinged edges on a ultra dark background. The nose reveals a certain breed of cassis that is pretty and floral. The palate shows the same cassis/currant but with the added dimension of boysenberry and super dark cherries, slight cocoa, and tat. There is a wonderful mouth feel that carries this forward. A great finish completes the package. This will surely benefit from a year in the bottle. For $26 this is a great QPR that belies its price tag. I have had the 2003 and this is less in your face and a more serious wine four square. (93 pts.)
