2021 Fairchild Stones No. 3 Set OF 3, Rated 98+

"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stones No. 3 comes from a famous site in Oakville and, as with the other releases here, is all varietal aged 22 months in 95% new French oak. This majestic, full-bodied, powerful 2021 reveals a saturated purple color, a mammoth-sized bouquet of cassis, liquid rock-like minerality, violets, graphite, and iron, ripe, building tannins, a stacked mid-palate, and a huge finish. Despite its overall size and concentration, it stays flawlessly balanced and has a seamless mouthfeel along with just perfectly integrated structure, alcohol, and fruit. This absolute classic 2021 will be best from 2028-2058." 98+ Jeb Dunnuck
