2002 Cabernet Sauvignon
Howell Mountain
Our flagship Howell Mountain offering shows all the traditional power of this mountain district and then some. We have combined our traditional vineyard on Liparita Road with a new ... more source, the Heitz Ink Grade Vineyard, for a more complex, more complete wine than we have produced previously.
Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Strong black raspberry, black cherry, sweet pipe tobacco and black pepper interweave to create an intriguing array of aromas. At entry the wine is surprisingly silky and round, with forward flavors of vanilla, sage, grilled fruit, rosemary and toasty French oak. The texture is full and rich and the fruit flavors linger.

1999 Cornerstone Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
This is from our own vineyard located at about 1700 feet on Howell Mountain. With the long 1999 growing season, this vintage exhibits characteristics typical of the vineyard which ... morehas been the fruit source for the Cornerstone brand since we started in 1991. This wine has a clean, sweet aroma of toasty oak and spice with fruity notes of cranberry, dried cherries and raspberries. Also in the nose are undercurrents of slightly sweet anise, cocoa and chamomile tea. Soft on the entry, the palate shows up-front sweet, juicy red cherries and a little cola-spiciness with nicely resolved tannins.
