"Broad-shouldered and a bit brawny, with blackberry and dark plum flavors accented by dried herb and bittersweet mocha tones as this builds toward a bite of tannins. Drink now through 2032. 532 cases made. —Tim Fish"

"Januik's 2021 Stone Cairn checks in as 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot that's all from the Red Mountain AVA. Its vivid ruby hue is followed by a spicy, cedary, red and black-fruited wine that's medium-bodied, has some spicy background oak, ripe tannins, and outstanding length."

"Blended with 5% Merlot, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Stone Cairn opens with a wood-inflected nose (from the 50% new French oak). Elements of red potpourri and spiced dark red florals waft from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, it is expressive with flavors of blackberry jus before firm tannins grip the gumline. With a balanced structure and succulent acidity, the Cabernet ends with the earthy sensation of graphite and pencil shavings. Enjoy with food. Just under 6,000 bottles were produced."
