Somehow, Stephen keeps making excellent wines at bargain barrel prices. This CS has some interesting aromas upon corking: hints of mowed grass and ginger. About 1.5 hours after aerating, the scents morph into clove and blackberry. The pour is a perfect purplish-ruby hue with more brambly blackberries and limestone on the nose. The body is shockingly smooth for such a young CS. In a blind taste test, I would say this was a Pinot noir for how smooth and delicate the structure of the wine is. The finish is as smooth as a coconut silk pie, with very low tannins and a bare hint of acidity. This paired excellently with oven-roasted country ribs, Sicilian pasta, and vegetable medley. This will be my new go-to variety, but honestly, any of Stephen's wines should be on your daily list.
