Cornerstone Stepping Stone Cabernet Sauvignon 1998 (California)

Price $14.49 Size 750 mL - Health Benefits of Wine Tasting held on Saturday April 30, 2005 at the Powers Liquor Mart in Colorado Springs.

This wine is inky dark with heavy, slow legs and with a heavy nose. Deep blackberry flavors with low tannic acid. It is smooth and rounded as well with good dryness. The finish drops off quickly which keeps it from getting a better grade. This wine would stand up to big red meats. Being 7 years old already it is probably close to or already at its peak. Very drinkable and agreeable cabernet. For more information see Cornerstone Cellars website. Grade: B+
