Agree with CDP. This is a very expressive New World Cab with good stuffing. Chocolate cherries show up in fragrant nose and palate. Consistent over two days.

I really enjoyed the flavor profile and concentration of this wine. It drinks great right out of the bottle yet it deepens and rounds as it breathes. Decent finish. Good balance although the tannins are almost gone so not sure it will improve any further. Lost a point or two since there weren't many layers to it but what is there is delicious. Plums, vanilla and smoke are there. Nice nose.

Of all the Cornerstone cabernets I've tasted, this would probably be my favorite. Classic chocolate covered cherry aromas and flavors presented in a more dry fashion than typical from this winemaker. Excellent oak treatment in addition to earthen notes harmonize the wine across the palate and through its long finish.
