2 Bottles of GEMSTONE, 2007 Proprietary Red Wine A gorgeous perfume of blue and blackberries and crushed rocks gives rise to minerality in the aromatics. With the tell-tale purity and equilibrium/harmony that are so much a part of this vintage as well as sweet tannins, this flashy, gorgeously proportioned, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon should be accessible young, yet age nicely for 15-25 years. This wine may turn out to be the finest wine this estate has yet to produce.
2 Bottles of STAGLINE FAMILY VINEYARD, 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon The wine has a deep ruby/purple color and a sweet nose of scorched earth, crème de cassis and blueberry, and some and cedar tobacco leaf. Complex for such a young wine, but with full-bodied richness, a multi-layered mouthfeel and superb purity and depth, this wine will last at least 20+ years.
2 Bottle of ALTAMURA, 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Notes of espresso roast, graphite, black currants, sweet black cherries and earthy, loamy terroir are all present in this dense purple, full-bodied, exuberant, concentrated and expressive Cabernet Sauvignon. This shows both power and finesse, ending with a wonderful burst of dark berry fruit. It can be drunk now or cellared for two decades.
3 Bottles of VINE HILL RANCH, 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Expect wild aromas of crushed blackberries and cassis with dusty cocoa nib, echoes of a woodland floor, intricate spices of dried sage, anise and black truffles.
