Stone Pine Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
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.
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. This added toasty baking spice notes to the wine’s ripe black-fruit flavors.
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 exciting Cab. Secure your case today.
