"The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Stones No. 1 comes from the Beckstoffer Las Piedras vineyard in St. Helena. This is sensational Cabernet Sauvignon – black/ruby/purple with lots of cassis, a hint of lead pencil shavings, licorice and white chocolate. The wine has superb texture, an opulent, full-bodied mouthfeel, and a rich, layered finish. Drink over the next 12-15 years. This is a tiny production winery focusing on relatively small-lot, single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons, as well as their Sigaro estate wines. This is an intriguing group of wines, all relatively small production lots of 120 to 220 cases." Wine Advocate #215, Oct 2014 |
