Winemaker Notes
A beautiful violet wine with generous aromas of blackberry and cocoa. The textured layers show flavors ranging from huckleberry to pepper. The finish is long and brimming with bright acidity and fine tannins.
Blend: 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 1% Merlot

Vinous
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Stone Cairn pulls me close to take in its perfumed mix of dried flowers, black currants and crushed stone. It washes across the palate with ease, silky and refined, with a tension-building mix of mineral-laced black fruits and inner herbal tones that give way to grippy tannins toward the close. While structured, the 2019 finishes remarkably fresh, leaving nuances of cocoa and violet inner florals to linger on. The Stone Cairn is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Merlot from the Red Mountain AVA. It's packed full of potential. Rating:94+

James Suckling
Ripe red cherry, sweet tobacco and vanilla on the nose. Full-bodied with silky tannins. Linear, steady and fruity. Good intensity, with notes of cedar mixed with ground spice. Fresh acidity.

Jeb Dunnuck
Based on 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Merlot, the 2019 Stone Cairn has a lifted, pretty, medium to full-bodied style as well as notes of ripe cassis, orange blossom, candied violets, and chocolate. Round, lush and sexy on the palate, this pleasure-bent Cabernet is ideal for drinking over the coming 8-10 years. Best After 2022

Wine
At the age of twenty six, Andrew was able to say that he'd spent more than half of his life working in the business and knew it would one day be his career, so it was no surprise when he suggested the possibility of creating his own wine to the people closest to him. During his time off and on during school years, he worked fulltime pending his college graduation, harnessing the opportunity to learn and understand all the broader points, and all the finer intricacies, of the wine industry through two of the more experienced and impassioned winemakers in the industry, Mike Januik and Scott Moeller.
It was in 2011 when he would finally start his own wine label, Andrew Januik.
