August Briggs

The “Monte Rosso” or “Red Mountain” vineyard is so named for its rich, red volcanic soils. Nestled in the majestic Mayacamas Mountain range, almost 1,000 feet above the Sonoma Valley floor, this steep and rugged mountain vineyard has a desirable western exposure that produce intense, powerful wines. The 2006 August Briggs Monte Rosso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has a dark ruby color with inviting and complex aromas of smoky oak, blackberry, and ripe fruit. On the palate, fruit flavors of blueberry and plum mingle with vanilla and chocolate. Balanced, well integrated tannins ensure that this wine will age for years to come. Enjoy it by the fire, or on the table with the most flavorful foods. This wine is big and drinkable now, but will mellow and soften with time. Drink 2009 – 2015.
