Seven Stones
The Seven Stones estate is located on one of the truly remarkable sites within the Napa Valley. Overlooking much of the northern part of the valley with its tremendous views the estate, winery and vineyards sit on a steep hillside in the eastern Vaca Mountains just above Meadowood Resort. Seven Stones focuses on a single wine each year, typically no more than 400 cases – each year’s production consists of merely 10 or less barrels. With the winery located on site their grapes can be at the winery within minutes of being harvested. Their focus is on using only the highest quality berries.

The vineyard is planted in the white Tufa volcanic rock of the region. Thick, opaque purple color to the rim, the wine is full-bodied, but has a sumptuous texture with adequate acidity and finely grained, integrated tannin. Like so many of the top 2014s, it is sexy, irresistible already, should drink well young and evolve for 20-25 or more years. This is a brilliant wine.

- The 2014 Seven Stones is very pretty and savory, if a touch slender. Then again, that is 2014. The 11% Cabernet Franc adds notable aromatic intrigue and lift to the savory, floral and mineral-inflected flavors. Gracious and medium in body, the 2014…
