2016 CORNERSTONE OAKVILLE STATION NAPA VALLEY RED "Bright garnet color, toast and plum nose; smooth, lush and deep with soft plum and spice, toast and hints of vanilla; juicy, fresh and long, a cellar candidate." 94 Points "Intense and very rich right out of the gate but showing increasing detail and nuance as its aromas unfold in the glass, Cornerstone's blend of Bordeaux varieties makes a most auspicious start and is, if anything, deeper and more generously filled on the palate. It is full in body, yet so well balanced as to seem almost light on its feet, and its layered, deftly oaked flavors of concentrated cassis- and black cherry-like fruit go on and on. It is decidedly showy for a wine of its age, but it is constructed to age famously and has great places to go, and, in the longer run, say some six to ten years from now, it stands a very good chance at being the most involving as well as the longest-lived of its producer's high-achieving collection of lovelies from the 2016 vintage." 92 Points
