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.

Photos of; the property with the seven stones from Yosemite that are held together by gravity and weight 100,000 pounds, and two other artworks from the owners amazing art collection and the view from their terrace. — 8 years ago

The night before Yosemite port! Lovely tawny, nutty aromas and still plenty of fruit, but no expansion or length to speak of. Solid, but not profound port. — 8 years ago

Necessity to get drinks pounding the next day. Stuff's so good and light.. nicely vicious and clean for $25. Good to be back with some of the crew for a redneck cabin trip near Yosemite — 8 years ago

Nice nose. Some raspberries and tart cherry. Also an earthy pungent element. Bit of mint. Flavors are nice too. Fruit with anise and great minerality. Zippy. Finishes strong with dark chocolate, cassis and hard candy. — 9 years ago

Prefect example of how the combination of wine, place, and people can lend themselves to pure happiness, if only for a few hours and 750mL. Enjoyed this 2010 bottling at the Ahwahnee Lodge dinning room (Yosemite NP) with rack of lamb and roasted autumn vegetables. Showing great concentration, age, and structure. Cheers to more moments like this one! — 8 years ago

Thanks @Jim Westby for packing this claret for our trip to Yosemite. We grilled up Fred Steak to pair with it, and this powerful, virile '93 had the power and cut for the rich, flavor y tri-tip. This wine has so much going for it- you have to wonder if they added some of another more famous vintage! — 8 years ago

Well balanced red blend. Moderate to full fruit on the front of my palate. Easy middle with dark stone fruit, a hint of spice and a long glycerin finish. — 10 years ago

We bought a case in Sept. 2015 and opened it on a camping trip to Yosemite a few weeks later. We were very happy with the flavor but thought the viscosity was thin. Well worth our investment and our plan to use it for Christmas presents. — 10 years ago
