May 6, 2020 - Drank over 3 days. Lovely nose upon opening and the first sip showed just enough fruit. Low tannins. After 30min or so in the glass, felt the wine was not as good. The initial thought was this vintage is past prime. On day 2 and 3 however, it held up surprisingly well so I think this wine is at the end of its drinking window. Drink up.

January 14, 2018 - From magnum. Outstanding example of Oakville floor fruit. Still rich and worthy of further aging to coaxe out additional mature characteristics.

July 31, 2010 (link)(Crocker & Starr Cabernet Sauvignon Stone Place, Napa Valley) As the rehabilitated vines in this St. Helena estate (dating back to the 1870s) have evolved since winemaker-partner Pamela Starr’s arrival, the Stone Place bottling has become 100% Cabernet Sauvignon for the first time in its 10-year history. The nose is an intriguing mix of shriveled plum, blackcurrant, rope tobacco, and roasting espresso, translating into black chocolate-covered blueberry with dashes of cinnamon and clove on the palate. As always, the textures are perfectly scaled, seamless, sumptuous, and sinewy. Hot Picks
