2017 CORNERSTONE OAKVILLE STATION NAPA VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON "The most complete of the very good Cornerstone contingent from the 2017 vintage, the Oakville Station Cabernet is a deep and substantial offering that displays an involving sense of layering and richness with a beautifully joined mix of backcurrants and sweet oak highlighted by nuanced touches of dried herbs and cola. It has the strength and structure of a wine that will grow for years and years, but its integral tannins are so well-buffered by fruit that waiting will not come all that easy. That said, we urge no less than four or five years of patience with full faith that those familiar with the beauty to be had in serious, fully mature Cabernet will find that a decade of age is a better choice yet.

Drink or hold." 91 Points
