Product Description
JD97+ "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Stones No. 2 offers more mountain fruit characteristics as well as plenty of tannins to go with a beautiful perfume of spring flowers, spice, earthy minerality, and both blue and black fruits. From a site on Pritchard Hill that spent 20 months in 80% new French oak, give this elegant, layered, full-bodied beauty a good 4-5 years of bottle age and enjoy over the following 2+ decades." JD Jan 2019
AG97 "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." AG for VM Dec 2018
