Cornerstone Cellars, The Cornerstone, Napa Valley, 2011

Ripe, intense black-fruits nose with a touch of grass and mint; stylish and lifted. Dense, chewy and intense, with a core of firmness running right through. Very good aromatics on the palate and a well-balanced finish.

Cinnamon, nutmeg, ripe dark cherry, cranberry and oregano on the nose. Supple attack – rounded and fleshy. it has opulence and a good backbone of acidity to balance the super-ripe fruit.
