2019 Stagecoach Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Stagecoach Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon brings the presence of nearly 1,800 feet elevation piercing through the fog and the unforgiving rocky terrain to this wine. A dense concentration of blueberry reduction and black currant from the longer ripening season rises from the glass. Notes of black mission fig and mocha dust are framed by crushed bay leaf and star anise. A buoyant, supple structure and youthful mouthfeel carries through to a lasting finish.

The Wine Advocate, May 21, 2022
Gallo's acquisition of the Stagecoach Vineyard in 2017 immediately amplified expectations for the family's Napa-based brands. Martini's version, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Stagecoach Vineyard, largely fulfills that promise, offering up lovely cherries, cassis and blueberries, all accented by gentle sage and bay leaf notes. Full-bodied, expansive and supple, it finishes long and softly dusty, delivering waves of fruit and herbal complexities.
