2005 Sbragia Cimarossa Vyd Howell Mtn Cabernet Sauvignon 93pts(WS)
93pts(WS)
Shows off a complex mixture of creamy, toasty oak, with layers of mocha,
espresso, dried currant and black cherry fruit that’s elegant, delicate,
focused and long on the finish, ending with fine-grained tannins. Drink now
through 2016. 400 cases James Laube Wine

90-93pts(IWC) Good full ruby. Highly
complex aromas of sour cherry candy, cassis, minerals, graphite, chocolate and
licorice, plus a hint of iron. Big, rich and rocky, with varietally expressive
flavors of black fruits, flowers and mint. The building, chewy tannins reach
the front teeth. All of these cabernets include a small percentage of cabernet
franc, notes Sbragia, who clearly likes the floral lift this variety
brings. Stephen Tanzer

91pts(WA) Classic mountain
characteristics such as crushed rocks, flowers, raspberries, black currants and
blue fruits emerge from the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Cimarossa Vineyard. Fleshy,
full-bodied, and dense with the oak component well-concealed, it should easily
keep for 15-20 years. Robert Parker Wine Advocate # 180 Dec 2008
