The 2012 Cornerstone Cellars Michael's Cuvée offers an inky appearance and a beautiful set of aromas - blackberry, currant, pencil lead and a touch of violet. Expectations are high after one whiff. The sip delivers on the promise of the nose. Silky smooth and rich - and it's a young wine - it echoes the dark aromas and complexity of the nose. This wine, at $75, might be a luxury for you. Rest assured, you get that for which you pay. The wine is luxurious, the tannins are supple and the finish seems like forever.

We had the 2012 Vintage of Michael’s Cuvée on 10/11/20. There are tastes of blackberry, cassis, oak in the full bodied, well balanced wine. The tannins were all smoothed out after an hour of aeration. Black fruit and lavender on the bouquet. A really good wine.

We had this on 8/24/19. A real good Cab. Tastes of blackberry, blueberry, plum, chocolate and some oak. Fine tannins, smooth finish to this full bodied wine.
