2018 Crocker & Starr Cabernet Sauvignon Stone Place
Community Tasting Note
AGELVIS Likes this wine:
95 Points
Monday, June 12, 2023 - Three hour decant. Deep dark magenta color. Blackberry, stewed plum, cotton candy, flax seed bread, rose petal, milk chocolate, and lemon zest. Smooth, dry, full bodied palate, with engaging, tongue coating acidity. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish.
This has really opened up since I tasted it at the winery almost 18 months ago. Great complexity. Looking forward to see how this develops.

Also, had a 2007 stone place last year which was absolutely stunning and in its prime.
