Cornerstone Highlights
2009 Cornerstone Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 90 Points
"($65) Inky ruby. Ripe cherry and dark berries on the perfumed nose and in the mouth. Plush and open-knit, with very good back-end power and sneaky smoke and tobacco nuances. Closes sweet and long, with smooth tannins making a late appearance." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
2009 Cornerstone Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 91 Points
"($80) (includes 5% merlot): Glass-staining ruby. Sexy oak-spiced aromas of dark berry compote, sassafras and vanilla, with a smoky overtone. Stains the palate with sweet black and blue fruit flavors that pick up an exotic floral pastille quality on the back half. Finishes sweet, smoky and long, with slow-building tannins and a kick of peppery spices and minerals." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
2009 Cornerstone Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon The Cornerstone Napa Valley 92 Points
"($125) Inky purple. A powerfully scented bouquet displays scents of dark berry liqueur, cherry pit, pipe tobacco and cedar, with a sexy vanilla undertone. Broad and chewy on the palate, offering intense, smoke-accented cassis and bitter cherry flavors and subtle florality. Closes with firm tannic grip and excellent persistence, leaving Indian spice and cherry notes behind." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
