Flavor Profile
Named after the “Garden of Spain” – where statuesque stone pines stand sentinel over precious, gnarled old vines – Stone Pine showcases how well Cabernet Sauvignon thrives in Navarra. It’s a must-taste for lovers of Cabernet (or any rich, full-bodied reds).
What makes Navarra such a prime spot for Cabernet? The region has a hot, arid climate – ideal for ripening those thick-skinned Cab grapes and developing concentrated flavors. Then there’s the nearby Moncayo mountain range, which provides a much-needed cooling influence and helps the grapes retain freshness and balance. Add in 2018’s near-perfect growing season, and you’ve got tip-top Cabernet conditions.
Of course, region isn’t everything. The winemaking team also did their part, treating the Cabernet grapes to kid-glove care in the cellar and aging the wine for 16 months in fine French oak barrels. No wonder Stone Pine debuted to two coveted gold medals – including one from France’s prestigious Gilbert & Gaillard guide. Judges raved:
“Attractive nose combining black fruits, vanilla, mocha, spices, and licorice. Perfumed, velvety, and concentrated palate combining finesse, precision, and beautiful length.”
Decant the wine an hour or so before serving to open up its full complexity, then enjoy with Spanish-inspired cuisine. Roasted lamb, suckling pig, seafood paella ... let your imagination run as wild as Navarra’s famous running bulls.
If you’re ready to explore a world of Cabernet beyond Bordeaux and California, then you’ve got to try this new, double-gold exclusive. Secure your case today.
