Many of you are already familiar with Waterstone Cabernet Sauvignon. Over the past decade, Waterstone Winery has built a reputation for its top quality Napa Valley Cabernets. Part of what makes Waterstone so special is that its wines taste like Cali-Cult wines without the Cali-Cult prices, impressing wine aficionados as well as those just discovering the world of wine.
We were first introduced to this winery several years ago, and 2001 was the first vintage we sold. Waterstone has been a best-selling wine at Sokolin, year after year.
The 2015 vintage ($33.95 / btl) is now in stock, and they hit it out of the park with this vintage, which was an outstanding one for Napa Valley. The same remains true in this vintage as in previous vintages of Waterstone - this wine tastes like it costs 3-4x the price!
2015 Waterstone Cabernet Sauvignon is Bordeaux-like on the nose with licorice, forest floor, plums, crème de cassis with a hint of cedar, baking spices and oak. It’s elegant, pure and layered, medium to full bodied and bursting with fruit that flows across the palate with a 60+ second finish.
2015 is also the first full vintage with Laurie Hook (formally of Beringer) at the helm. She’s taken over the reigns as winemaker, and it shows in the purity and seductiveness of this extraordinary vintage.
Production for the 2015 was down substantially from prior vintages and is 1/3rd of what Waterstone historically produced, meaning we have very LIMITED quantities available.
This is the perfect wine to serve with steak, burgers or lamb, and it’s also an affordable and great wine to gift.
If you're a fan of Waterstone, act quickly and order your case today. This is your chance to experience maybe the best bang for the buck in Napa!
