Free Shipping On A Case. Dave Phinney Winemaker. Everybody wants
2016!.
Fleshy in texture, rich, full bodied, and structured;
an Oakville Cabernet with excellent depth and flavor (blackberry, blueberry
jam, toast, cedar), very good balance, and a smooth, moderately tannic finish.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged 20 months in French oak barrels, 50% new.
The
Oakville appellation in the Napa Valley has long been recognized as a unique
combination of soil, topography, and climate that join together to create an
environment that produces world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. Since 1999, the
Stanton Family has been putting aside some of their most prized fruit from
their 42-acre estate vineyard to produce wine under the Stanton Vineyards
label. The combo of Stanton's prime Oakville vineyards, winemaker Dave Phinney
(ex-Orin Swift, The Prisoner) and the near-perfect 2016 vintage has created one
of the most compelling Napa Cabs we've recently tasted! Everything from its
deep purple color to its aromas of dark berries, Creme de Cassis, blueberries,
sweet vanilla and humidor spice marks this as an exceptionally ripe Cabernet.
