Decanter94 pts

The 2021 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon from Cornerstone is one of the more structured and elegant wines in their line-up that vintage, offering both red and black fruit typical of the AVA, alongside those signature dusty mineral notes that evolve into a backbone of fine, dusty tannins on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Further complexity emerges with rich cedarwood spice, blue fruit aromatics, and pressed wildflower notes carried through a mineral-driven finish.
