This was the last year of the 1983 planted Mario’s Vineyard. 2009 produced outstanding wines throughout the Napa Valley and Bragg Vineyards was no exception. This is a bigger Cabernet that will only get better with time. One of the distinct characteristics of Bragg Vineyards is that it produces wines with well rounded tannins or balanced acidity. The Mario’s Cabernet is smooth and bold from start to finish.
