2010 Gabbro

The 2010 Gabbro, Montepeloso's 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, is all about texture. Today the flavors are completely unevolved, instead it is the wine's towering presence and sheer personality that stand out most. With time in the glass hints of melted road tar, graphite, smoke and incense gradually being to emerge. An exotic mélange of savory herb nuances melt into veins of salinity frame the finish. Readers will have to be patient with the 2010, but it is a jewel of a wine.
