Rich, smooth shade with a gentle purple undertone, evoking the allure of a warm summer evening. A well-rounded tapestry of intense fruit notes, offering blackberry, black currant, and black cherry, mingle with nuances of blueberry and red bell pepper, but the feel of vanilla tobacco leaves and spices adds complexity and warmth. A well-balanced and structured wine, with firm tannins and a long, seductive finish.

What the web is saying

Andrew Januik Stone Cairn is praised for its rich, fruit-forward profile featuring blackberry, black cherry, and black currant. It offers a well-balanced structure with smooth, velvety tannins and a long, satisfying finish. While some appreciate its complexity with notes of vanilla, chocolate, and spices, others find it less fruit-forward. It's versatile for pairing and suitable for special occasions.

Voss Experts4.0

On the nose, Andrew Januik Stone Cairn reveals an enticing mix of dark fruits like blackberry and plum, complemented by spices such as black pepper and clove, along with earthy notes of graphite and cedarwood. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with flavors of ripe blackberries and plums, with secondary notes of dark chocolate and espresso. Well-integrated tannins and refreshing acidity provide balance, while the finish is long, echoing fruit, spice, and minerality. This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with grilled lamb chops, beef Wellington, or mushroom risotto. Andrew Januik's 'Stone Cairn' Cabernet Sauvignon exemplifies Washington's viticultural excellence, offering a balanced and complex experience that delights both casual drinkers and connoisseurs.
