Robert Criag "The Stick" Candlestick Ridge Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 750mL

“The Stick” is our homage to Candlestick Ridge Estate Vineyard, a mountain jewel that sits on Howell Mountain’s north summit at 2300′. The site is a short drive from our Winery Estate Vineyard, but produces fruit of such individual intensity and power that we created a wine that captures the character of this special vineyard site. This Bordeaux-inspired estate red is crafted of Cabernet, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot, and is held back an additional year in bottle to ensure that it is perfectly integrated upon on release.

Grape Varietals:

75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 9% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot

97 Points - Vinous, "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Stick is rich, heady and explosive. It o ers up an exciting mélange of inky dark fruit, chocolate,lavender, spice and licorice, all in an attention-grabbing full throttle style that is hugely appealing. Even with all of its obvious richness, the 2019 is not at all overly heavy."
