Seven Stones was the wine of this market visit to Napa. For me, it is the very definition of why I drink wine. Great fruit that is not overworked and is the Webster’s Dictionary of elegance, even at this young age.
On the nose; beautiful dark & medium red cassis. Ruby in style with amazing florals. Blackberries, dark cherries, raspberries & blue fruit mix. The red florals are so engaging, They possessed me for quite sometime before getting to tasting the wine. Soft baking spices with understated vanilla.
The body was medium full. Tannins unbelievably soft, silky and elegant for such a young wine. The fruits picked at the perfect ripeness. Such elegance! Creamy and ruby fruits of; cherries, dark cherries, creamy raspberries and wafting blue fruits. Soft spices, dry crushed rock powder, delicate volcanic minerals, touch herbaceous, whiff of black olive, dry soils, beautiful red roses and violets. The structure firm yet delicate as was the tension. The length and balance in perfect harmony. The long, polished finish simply amazing. Especially, in a wine this young.

After three days they were still enough tart tannins to coat your tongue. Write black and current berry, a little red fruit. Lush with medium acid. A good drink, but I’m still surprised at it’s tightness after three days. — 6 years ago
$9.99 for a great organic wine. I can’t make this stuff up. Strawberries on the nose. Medium body. Tart on the front then subtly sweet. — 7 years ago
From Margaret River Chardonnay specialist, Pierro. Mid Lemon in colour. Mealy nutty aromas of almond and cashew. Restrained stone fruit with some ripe grapefruit on a medium bodied palate. Great balance between the new leaner style of Aussie Chard like Oakridge 864 and the traditional full bodied style like Leeuwin Art Series - both great Chards themselves. Excellent. — 9 years ago
Bold, full body shiraz with plum, blackberry and some spice but very well rounded. Some tannin to go well with BBQ, beef and lamb. I would order this again! — 9 years ago

Great Redwine blend from Argentina. When the wine was first opened, it tasted flaw with hint of dry cork. This vanished after leaving the wine alone for another day with the vacu cork seal.
Wine showed dark berry fruits and was well balanced! — 9 years ago
Allowed to open up for an hour. Subtle oaky aromas. Dark cherry, slight hint of wood, and a small amount of pepper on the finish. #CabernetDay — 10 years ago

Noh! Que vinho bom. Fácil de beber, bem fechado e o gosto de mocha é muito interessante. Pouca doçura, cheiro de café e chocolate amargo. Mais seco que de costume. Excelente. — 6 years ago
