Stonestreet Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe Estate Cab is always a mix of the best vineyards, virtually all mountain sites. Think sturdy, intense, savoury fruit that somehow winemaker Lisa Valtenbergs tames into a relatively supple affair. The fruit is black and plummy with dusty, slurry tannins rich in savoury, black cherry, and studded with orange and liquorice. A mountain wine but with a lot of style for the price. Nowhere near ready to drink before 2023. The fruit grows between 400 to 2,400 feet above the valley floor, 76 miles north of San Francisco and 23 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. Individual vineyard block fermentations go through a 5-day cold soak before a stainless ferment, and 18 months in 37 percent new French oak.Tasted: 10 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $52.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
