Perhaps a bit less firm than the 2015, Stonecroft's 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is still a classically constructed wine with at least a decade of life ahead of it. Pencil shavings, tobacco and mint accent cassis notes on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is bolstered by firm yet ripe tannins and hints of red fruit. It finishes long, with soft dustings of cocoa powder and earth.
