Cornerstone Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 750ml |
||||
|
||||
This beautifully balanced wine is showing all the attributes you might expect from Calistoga. A solid core of red and black fruit, some spice notes and a dried earthiness, distinct from the red earth you'll find in Cabernet from this area. Chewy tannins are balanced with focused fruit wrapped in a delicate layer of baking spice and dried herb. Supple tannins on the finish suggest a hillside heritage. | ||||

Cornerstone Farina Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2019 750ml |
||||
|
||||
It could be described as "California" in style. Just ripe enough to bring out the tropical fruit yet picked early enough to capture the crisp apple and Meyer lemon notes. The bright acidity is in balance with the lush fruit flavors and the essence of creaminess from the time spent on the lees. The crisp finish has richly woven notes of jasmine, pineapple and Golden Delicious apple. | ||||

Cornerstone Sta Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2016 750ml |
|
|
|
The fruit focused core, depth and complexity is attributed to the morning fog, sunny days and cooling coastal breezes. The hillsides are covered with white chalky soils that allow for drainage, but also encourage a hint of minerality in the flavor and texture. Deep red cherry note prevail in the aromas followed by tea leaves and gun flint. | |
