The Winery
Fairchild
Founded by Larry Fairchild, Fairchild Wines mission is to produce limited, high quality premium red wines. Fairchild sources its Cabernet Sauvignon from two highly acclaimed California vineyards: Beckstoffer Georges III and Sigaro. Home to the Fairchild Sigaro Cabernet Saugvinon, the Sigaro vineyard sits on the south-facing slopes of Lake Hennessey producing full-bodied, structured wine. Notable for producing world-class wines, Beckstoffer Georges III vineyard is home to Fairchild G·III Cabernet Sauvignon, well-structured wine with proven aging potential.
Tasting Notes
- WA98
- The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Stones No. 2 comes from the G-III and is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from clone 4. This is another near-perfect effort from winemaker Philippe Melka and the Fairchild team. Beautiful, sweet blueberry, blackberry and cassis fruit intermixed with floral notes, earthy soil undertones and forest floor notes are all present in this complex wine, which sports a full-bodied, mega-concentrated mouthfeel, but has no sense of heaviness or awkwardness. Drink it over the next 30+ years.
