November 7, 2023 - Deep current nose, pepper, currants and chocolate flavors but clearly needs to work it’s way on your drink list.

July 27, 2022 - A good wine with classic Cabernet flavors but muted without much zip or punch. MEH QPR and not sure where it might be headed. I’ve had several vintages of Cornerstone and I’ve never figured it out. It always feels like the 2nd label of some big-assed winery rather than a mid-low top level stand alone Napa Cab. Hm.

August 31, 2021 - This was solid with classic currant, bramble and cracked pepper notes that coat the mouth and lead to a drying but decently long berry finish.

May 24, 2021 - Did seem to be fading just a bit with smooth, berry and moderate tannin but not much oomph. Drink any time before it fades away.
