2016 Cornerstone Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, Calistoga, Napa Valley
The California Wine ClubIcons list
Tasting Notes: From an outstanding vintage in Napa Valley, this has all the earmarks of a classic Calistoga Cabernet, including dark garnet color, ripe red and blue fruit aromas with a complex array of baking spices, dried sage, and sweet oak. After a swirl and sniff, you’ll find concentrated aromas of blackberries, with an abundance of dark cherry and spice aromas. The first sip is full and broad, loaded with dark ripe fruit flavors and a savory texture.
