William Cole Vineyards Stonemaiden 2023, Napa Valley, California

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Red fruits on the nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing cherries, currants, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn and licorice.

Tangy finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and nicely balanced, complex and engaging.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already enjoyable even by itself.

Showing good structure, and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 94 point wine.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

A blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

185.
