Wine Advocate Review
Rated 94
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is blended with 1.5% Petit Verdot and matured for 20 months in 35% new oak. It's bursting with gregarious blackcurrant, blueberry, mint chocolate and lilac plus touches of cigar ash, licorice and coffee beans. The medium-bodied palate is light on its feet despite its deep core of perfumed fruit, with a frame of grainy tannins and juicy acidity that calls you in for another sip. This is wonderfully easy to drink despite offering plenty of complexity. Drinking Window 2024-2039.
Wine Tasting Notes
The Stonestreet Estate Cabernet Sauvignon embodies the essence of our vineyard estate situated at high elevations, displaying the diverse range of aspects, soils, and vegetation present on its main ridge. Lively scents of wild blackberry, raspberry, tobacco, and sage take center stage, complemented by delicate hints of baking spices and anise. On the palate, rich flavors of black currant, dried cherry, dried Herbes de Provence, and a hint of vanilla bean unfold, wrapped in refined tannins that carry the wine to a lingering finish infused with cocoa powder.
