Stony Hill Vineyard, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Jan 12, 2016

By Linda Murphy

This legendary Chardonnay and Riesling producer has branched out to Cabernet Sauvignon and with great results.  The suave tannins and lush dark cherry and plum fruit are countered by bracing acidity and a streak of black minerality that is present from nose to finish. It also have a savory side, with forest floor, cigar box and gentle leafy herbs.  It’s complex, compact and capable of ageing beautifully for a decade or more.
