Product Description
RP100 "Absolutely perfect is the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Stones No. 1, which comes from the Beckstoffer/Las Piedras Vineyard in St. Helena. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 80% new French oak for 20 months, the wine has that Mission Haut-Brion/Haut-Brion scorched-earth, gravelly, quarry-stone aromatics intermixed with blueberry, cassis and spring flowers. It is full-bodied with magnificent texture and concentration, stunning freshness, and a terrific finish that goes on for close to a minute. This is surreal and compelling Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the next 30+ years." RP Oct 2015
Robert Perker writes, "Fairchild’s wines are made with the assistance of French wine consultant Philippe Melka and they are all relatively small lots from five vineyard sources: Sigaro Vineyard above Lake Hennessey, George III, Beckstoffer, Las Piedras and another Pritchard Hill vineyard called Houyi. Occasionally grapes also come from the Tench Vineyard in Oakville, made famous by wine producer Russell Bevan." Published: Oct 29, 2015
