9.3

Sixteen grape Veneto blend including twelve red grapes (Corvina, Corvinone, Rhondinella, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah, Teroldago, Croatina, Oseleta, Sangiovese and Mazzamino) and four white grapes (Garganega, Trebbiano, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay). Dark ruby color with garnet highlights. Aromas of red and black berry fruit with hints of purple flowers and leather. The palate is more cooked black fruit focused (plum, blackberry, black currant) with touches of baking spices, chocolate and vanilla. Nice smoky and mineral notes on the very long finish. For all that’s going on in this wine, it is quite harmonious, fresh tasting and pleasant. Excellent balance and integration. Dense and rich but not over the top. So good! — a month ago

This is a 2016 so still young for a wine that should have longevity. It however drinks like a mature wine now. Very complex with some blackberry and cherry at the beginning then continuing to smooth out the longer it gains oxygen. Finish is so good and carries you to the next bite of that wagyu New York Strip. — 5 years ago

50/50 Cab Franc-Merlot. The Cab Franc really shines through. Medium bodied with less concentration than I would expect, which is a good thing. Still has big complex aromas, with a long finish. I'm going to need to seek out more from these guys. — 9 years ago

Dried fruit at the front, warm oak on the nose. Some tannin at the end, but overall very lush. Better as it opens up. — 7 years ago

Black currant, smoky blueberries, cassis, and mint. Cornerstone Cellars 2012 Michael's Cuvée doesn't disappoint. It's opulent, with palate-drenching blackberries and blueberries, lovely purity of fruit with seductively sueded tannins. A blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Merlot, this cuvée was assembled from the historic Oakville Station Vineyard (read that as To Kalon) 57%, 28% Kairos Vineyard, and 9% Ink Grade Vineyard on Howell Mountain. For the money, it's exceptional. 14.9% ABV | Sample — 9 years ago
