candied fig and anise

The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino from Aglieta is beautiful

subtle roasted herb notes intermixed with black cherry

I suspect the price should be one-third to one-half of the 2005

Winemaker's Notes:

Stonestreet Estate Vineyards Monument Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon - 2007 (750ml) ramon cellar candied fig and aniseThe biggest production cuvee, the inky purple tinged 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Monument Ridge is fabulous. Composed of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc aged 16 months in 76% new French oak casks, it reveals abundant aromas of creme de cassis, graphite, ink, licorice, and fruitcake in a full bodied, Pauillac like style with plenty of sweet tannin. These are far and away the most impressive group of Stonestreet Alexander Mountain estate wines
