River Stone Corner Stone 2014

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRiver Stone is a small estate operating just south of McIntyre Bluff in the Oliver area of the Okanagan Valley. It would be hard to follow up the very fine 2013 Corner Stone, but the 2014 is equally fine. The mix is 27/27/20/18/8 merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, malbec, petit verdot, all aged 18 months in French oak. The vineyards are on south facing slopes where soils are composed of rock, sand, and gravel laid down during the last glacial recession. Impressive from the start to the finish. Sleek, dry and firm, with just the perfect amount of muscle and fruit. Tannins are refined and stylish. Lamb would be a super match.Tasted: 22 August 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
