Big cab... very nice with a ton of potential to keep getting better. 11 being a “down” vintage is overplayed. — 7 years ago

Started a bit muted but opened up beautifully with a smooth finish and substantial fruit notes — 8 years ago

Soft tannins, rich cherry chocolate fruit still very alive — 9 years ago

10' Fairchild GIII . The 2010 bottle without a doubt has gotten so much better in the last two years!

Full-bodied, somewhat of a bruiser right out of the bottle ( green olives). A hour decanting & the tannins/acidity have softened up. Nose- Expressive flowers, sweet black cherry, spices. Color Deep purple. Palate- Dense , black fruits( Blackberry) spices, creamy oak. A well polished wine.

Fairchild & Schrader are the best stuff coming out of GIII ? IMO I have not had the Sarah Francis G III.

Certain parts of this vineyard are sensational. Drink/ Hold. I'd be curious to see how this develops in the next 2/3 years.

Philippe Melka and Larry Fairchild are a partnership in Napa Valley like no other, the 2013 Stones 2 lives up to its press, The wine exhibited notes of tar, tobacco, soaring black fruit and amazing balance. The deep baking spices always keeps me wanting to go back to the glass for more. Bravo Team Philippe and Larry for an exceptional effort — 7 years ago

09' Myriad Georges. Decanted it for several hours. Love the nose on this wine (always). It's even better than it was a little more than a year ago. It had a lot more muscle a year ago. Still a powerhouse wine, with much more elegance to it.You enjoy Rutherford wines? Can't miss bottle.
10 great years in it! I'm a little partial… Love almost everything that comes out of this great Vineyard!

Enjoy wine from this vineyard. May I also suggest Fairchild. Cheers! — 8 years ago
