Stoneridge Vineyard King Coal Cabernet-Syrah Blend
Very big, ripe, and extracted, but real savory complexity. Enjoyable now but could easily last another decade or more

Oct 7th, 2013Interesting. I had expected a more concentrated wine, but this is almost translucent. Very intense though as expected, however, very smooth in the finish. Both tobacco and vanilla with red and dark berries dominate; needs air to open up further. Wasn’t cheap (forgot what I paid), but definitely worth $100 or so in my books.
