Not the best Christopher's I've had, lacked any real substance. For the price it was disappointing.

Honestly, this is not a Stonestreet "Estate" wine, it is actually made by Legacy Wines from AV fruit, which may or may not have been "mountain grown" on the estate. It is a decent blend, but for the price it is way lacking and passing it off as a Stonestreet product would surely be appealing if Jess was still alive. For the price there are far better products available...

Had a bit early, but nice cherry flavor and smooth finish. Will likely improve with some more age.

Extremely smooth with a rich velvety feel; drinks like a much more expensive French Syrah.

Very nice bright cherry flavors, still pretty bold. Finishes smooth and the cherry flavor melts away.

After decanting it initially had a nice fruity cherry flavor. But, within an hour the taste had faded to a mostly tasteless liquid. Was aged in clay, so maybe it has just aged out as it was a '14 - not sure?

Nice rich feel, black/blue berry flavors that melt into a very pleasing long finish. Being for '09 it reflects the wisdom of a prior winemaker that seems to have gotten muddled in the more recent offerings from Stonestreet.

A dry Gruner Veltliner, but not as sharp tasting as many gruners - nice, but not the best gruner.

Not sure I would know it is Mourvèdre, it is a bit copper colored and very weak tasting. It is possible that it just near the end of its' life, but I was expecting a bit more from a 2015 at this point.
