This is sitting in a very nice spot right now. It has settled in nicely. Big tantalizing nose chock full of fruit and mocha. Darker blue and black fruit with integrated tannins. Charred wood. As a general rule, the Seven Stones wines have underperformed in my view from a value standpoint. The 06 still drinks as one of the better of the vintages from the 2000s.

It's matured very nicely, good representation what a high quality Napa Cabernet is capable of becoming; multidimensional, complex, medium+ body, and long finish.

This was decanted for about an hour and drunk over 3 more. Very nice evolution over the evening as the fruit darkened and the earthy elements evolved. Always a long finish with nice lift given the weight of its body. Awesome with steak main course. A steal at current auction prices around $100.

This wine was truly amazing. No flaws. No sediment. Dark ruby color. Moderate rim variation. And I quote: "Probably the best nose I've ever had from a California Cabernet." Simple perfection. Paired perfectly with filet mignon. Low tannin and acid. Medium alcohol, and, a long finish. This is so, so ready to drink. My only regret, last one I have!!! Enjoy.
