4/14/2024 - Mark1npt Likes this wine: 97 pointsPnp'd into a decanter and enjoyed small glasses all afternoon over about 3 hours, then through dinner and after for about 2 hours more, so a total amount of air of 5 hours. Dark/opaque magenta/purple in the glass, nose of graphite and beautiful florals. |

3/16/2024 - ozziewine Likes this wine: 94 pointsDecanted this for two hours and that helped round off the edges. JONNYG nailed it with their "Polished and modern but not over the top" descriptor. No extraordinary characteristics jumped out at me. |

2/4/2024 - AGELVIS Likes this wine: 95 pointsThree and a half hour decant. Deep dark ruby magenta color. Blueberry, black cherry, black walnut brownie, cinnamon-dusted caramel custard, thyme, and gardenia. Dry, plush, slightly dusty palate. Firm, full, medium intensity tannins on the longish finish. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

12/27/2023 - caspernick Likes this wine: 94 pointsA friend brought this over for Boxing Day dinner. Delicious, ripe, silky, perfumed but throwing a ton of sediment. Long finish and a generous mouthfeel. Everything you could ask for in a Napa Cab. Drink soon! |

12/25/2023 - JonnyG Likes this wine: 93 pointsMy first of six. Ripe and modern, a bit one dimensional but nonetheless delivers, with delicious blue and black fruit, some bramble and pepper. A touch of heat. Fully mature but should hold for a decade. |

12/2/2023 - AGELVIS Likes this wine: 94 pointsThree hour decant. Very very deep, yet bright, magenta color. Blackberry, blueberry, almond biscotti, tangerine rind, ginger, and jasmine. Very dry, satiny palate, with fine acidity. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

11/10/2023 - Cabernet4me2 wrote: 96 pointsWas my first SS and was excellent… was a PnP.. and this bottle was pretty ready to go after an hour.. could easily see this getting better with some time in bottle… going to lay the remaining bottles for awhile and if popped .. think would gove a good double decant and back in bottle for 1/2 day or so. This had great integration and was primarily black & blue fruit. Looking for to the next time trying for some more detailed notes… |

10/14/2023 - tomoem Likes this wine: 96 pointsAromatically I get slight cherry fruit with a tinge of tobacco leaf and chocolate. In mouth the wine is soft with black currants, plum skin, slight amounts of ripe blackberry and that new french oak wood presence despite being 8 years in bottle. The mid palate is where this really shines with the viscous weight of the juice simply enveloping the mouth with coating berry flavors. This has tremendous weight with layering of tobacco, chocolate and plum leading to a long finish and really balanced tannin's. Ready to consume right now. |

8/23/2023 - Jonathan T wrote: 94 pointsThis is a high quality cabernet and just entering a nice drinking window. Massive amount of fruit with a nice mineral streak on the back end. Still tight and dense and could benefit from some more time in the cellar. At this point, you do feel the considerable alcohol level. I think this is a fair value at $150, but I'm not sure if it it's worth $200. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

7/23/2023 - gteran76 Likes this wine: 94 points45 minutes double decanted and consumed about 2 hours later with friends at Flemings. This is a big Napa Cabernet, one of those that can cut through a big and fatty Tomahawk! |

My first Seven Stones. It seemed perfectly integrated and probably right at peak. You would never guess the +15% alcohol, it was all so smooth. Great texture of rasberry nectar, soft shoe leather and also fruit rollups. Red fruited with a long finish. What a way to start the trip. 2 people found this helpful, do you?

12/30/2022 - Mark1npt Likes this wine: 95 pointsFirst wine of this mini New Years Palooza with Mr/Mrs Decanting Queen. I gave this a 98, 16 mo ago at a Vine Vault tasting.....this bottle obtained only recently at auction. Obviously, another bottle exploded all over it. The labels were extremely stained. This bottle had good cork closure with no sign of seepage however the middle of the cork was dried out and it came out in 2 pieces. 30 minute decant was all it needed. Smooth red raspberry fruit, leather and some earthy notes on the nose. More red fruit on the palate. It's smooth and integrated on all fronts. This bottle ready to drink right now, just not quite as elegant as the one 16 mo ago.......very happy with it! |

12/12/2022 - mflesh wrote: NRAbout 3-4 yr ago, I said that the best years of this wine were 4-5 yr ahead of it. I still believe that today, although today on the revisit of this wine I will definitely tell you that this one has come a LONG LONG WAY to making up that unpreparedness. I think I was a little late to the party, as this wine had been opened for about 1-2 hours. But that's definitely what it needed (and could have benefitted from a decant for that time as well). Purple and blue fruits on the nose and palate. Had a youthful density to the nose and palate, and even a little bit of a restrained character here yet this wine is definitely still on the way up. With each 10 minutes, this wine improved quite a bit, and finished with a black pepper that shows this wine has huge upside potential still, with a definite improvement expected here in the next 1-2 years. A monster of a wine, and very layered and dense. I've had other vintages of the SS Cabernet, and I don't think I've historically enjoyed the others as much as I have this one. Drink from 2024-2030. |

8/13/2022 - #1Winelover Likes this wine: 98 pointsBattle of the best: Abreu Cappella 2013, Seven Stones 2012 and Chateau Pavie 2009. All were excellent and I will rate them the same. Brad Grimes is one of the best winemakers out there. His wines are consistent and I really love his style; full-bodied and translucent. Seven Stones 2012 is still going strong. I rated it highly upon release and it has maintained its energy, tension and full flavors. Pavie took the most time to come around and when it did, it was awesome. I don't know if it is in a shut down phase or not because I am not an expert on Bordeaux but it did come around. |

6/26/2022 - srwatters Likes this wine: 95 pointsRemoved the cork and left in the cellar for five hours before blind tasting. Still too young. Outstanding potential showed as it continued to open up while consumed over the next few hours. Will let the remaining two rest for a few years. |
