2019 Stiletto

Stillwater Creek Vineyard, Royal Slope

61% Cabernet, 20% Malbec, 14% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot

Winemaker Shane Howard has really put his heart and soul into this vintage of Stiletto.  The quality, the fruit extraction, bold flavors and balance, makes this one of his finest.  This bold, lush beauty will tempt you to take a sip with its deep ruby color, copious legs and aromas of rich ripe fruit.  Mid-palate expect flavors of ripe blueberry, Marion berry with a hint of graphite, leading to dark chocolate, black cherry and warm spiced vanilla and a long, lingering finish.  Enjoy now or cellar 2 to 9 years.
