94pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Much like Stringer's Howell Mountain offering, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Stagecoach Vineyard combines rich tannins and bright acidity in a wine that should offer at least 15 years of longevity. Plummy, blueberry fruit leads the way in this full-bodied, chewy mountain-grown Cab that finishes with vibrant blackberry flavors.

The appellation 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a terrific value and I’d certainly be happy to drink a bottle. Pretty blue fruits, bouquet garni, flowers, and some chocolate notes define this medium-bodied, lively, balanced, elegant Cabernet. Drink it over the coming 10-12 years.
Winemaker Notes
With 2% Petite Sirah, this wine isn't shy in power or concentration. Its dark inky color leads to dark, fleshy black fruit and broad, sweet tannins. The richness is complemented by herbal elements and a mineral component of crushed rock.
