Two Sisters Stone Eagle Estate Reserve 2013

Description

The Stone Eagle series from Two Sisters is the top tier at the estate. There are three levels - estate reserve, red label and special select. This nicely mature Merlot dominant blend spends up to four years in French and American oak (15% of which is new oak). The nose shows penetrating aromas of super-charged black currants, anise, raspberry/cherry, earth, dark chocolate and an elegant range of spices and roasted vanilla bean. It's beautiful on the palate with rich and detailed red berries, bramble, currants and plums that are layered and perfectly ripe across a smooth and textured frame that combines gorgeous spice notes and finesses on a long, long finish. As mentioned, quite attractive now but will still improve with 7+ years in the cellar. Score - 93. (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, Aug. 29, 2021)
