"Fairchild's 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Stones No. 2 is positively stellar. Ample and full-bodied with tremendous detail for such a big wine, the 2016 is even better from bottle than it was from barrel. Freshly cut flowers, bright red stone fruit and silky tannins are just some of the signatures that inform this magnificent, super-expressive Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2016 is mostly fruit from Montagna, with a dollop of grapes from Chang, both on Pritchard Hill."

California's flagship appellation for opulent, structured Cabernet Sauvignon of ripe fruit, plush tannins and cellar-worthy depth.
2016 in Napa Valley capped a run of drought years with a near-ideal, balanced growing season; the Cabernets are ripe, structured and classically proportioned, powerful yet balanced, with fine tannins and excellent aging potential.
