Stonestreet Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. It is recommended to decant it for half an hour.

The Stonestreet Estate is one of the most interesting wineries in California, producing high-altitude wines based on Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. The company, owned by the Jackson family, is managed by Christopher and Ariel who take great care of their 5500 acres, in the Mayacama mountain range in the Alexander Valley. The altitude of the vineyards (between 400 feet and 2,400 feet), the different microclimates, and the geological diversity of the mountain, allow this company to produce wines characterized by great minerality and fantastic flavor concentration.

In this wine, very small quantities of Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc are added to the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. As for all the Estate wines, the grapes are selected in the best vineyards of this mountain property, depending on the vintage, to best express this terroir.

Stonestreet Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep red wine that displays strong aromas of wild berries in jam on the nose, with some light earthy and vanilla notes. In the mouth, the flavor is concentrated and balanced by a good tannic backbone. It is an elegant and structured Cabernet Sauvignon that goes perfectly with stewed red meat or game.
