Tasting Notes
- WA98
- The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Stones No. 3 comes from a vineyard made famous by Russell Bevan in Oakville, the Tench Vineyard, which is in a high-rent district and near Screaming Eagle, Harbison, Rudd and Plumpjack sites. This is a pure red soil area, and the result is a gravelly, opaque purple wine with pure blueberry and crème de cassis notes intermixed with some loamy soil undertones, Christmas fruitcake and spice box, followed by a full-bodied, opulent wine with adequate acidity and sweet, well-integrated tannin. This should also be drunk over the next two decades.
