Critical Acclaim
93 points – James Suckling
92 points – Jeb Dunnuck
"Bright purple fruit with lifted notes of bramble berries, violets and bergamot. The palate is full-bodied with chewy tannins, a lush mouthfeel, fine acidity and notes of dark plums, cocoa, sage and red peppercorns." —James Suckling
"Expressive, leaping from the glass with its packed aromas of wood spices, toasted cedar, preserved blackberries, and resinous tobacco. Full-bodied, it reveals a sanguine, iron-rich mineral profile that’s forward on the palate, with mouthwatering tension, ripe tannins, and good balance on the finish. It’s a very appealing wine that’s starting to drink well now. Drink 2024-2034." —Jeb Dunnuck
Founded in 1989 by Jess Jackson and Barbara Banke, Stonestreet Estate Vineyards farms one of the largest contiguous vineyard estates in California's Alexander Valley. The estate climbs from the valley floor to mountain ridges above 2,400 feet, with Cabernet Sauvignon grown across a remarkable range of elevations, soils, and exposures. These rugged hillside vineyards give the winery an exceptional palette for blending wines with depth and freshness. The Estate Cabernet Sauvignon reflects this distinctive mountain landscape and Stonestreet's careful approach to site-driven winemaking.
The 2019 Estate Cabernet brings together fruit from the estate's mountain vineyards, where cool nights and varied elevations help preserve freshness while allowing full flavor development. Layers of blackberry, cassis, dark cherry, graphite, cedar, cocoa, and baking spice are supported by polished tannins and lively acidity, making this a Cabernet that is enjoyable now while also rewarding cellaring. James Suckling awarded it 93 points and Jeb Dunnuck scored it 92 points! Pair it with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, braised short ribs, or aged cheddar.
