Stepping Stone by Cornerstone 2008 Cabernet Franc (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
This is a lushly attractive wine for drinking now. It has pretty flavors of tart red cherries, accented with smoky oak, and brightened with crisp acidity. The dryness and smooth tannins add to this polished Cabernet Franc.

Stepping Stone by Cornerstone 2008 Syrah (Napa Valley)
- $20
Feels muscular and dry in the mouth, with powerful black cherry, currant, bacon, black pepper and sandalwood flavors. The tannins are potent, but negotiable, although you should give this Syrah a decant of several hours to let it breathe.

Stepping Stone by Cornerstone 2009 Cabernet Franc (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Pair this salty, umami-rich Cab Franc with the right foods, and all will be right. By itself, it’s rather straightforward in cherry marmalade and buttered toast flavors. It wants sausage, ham, smoked pork or similar protein dishes.

Stepping Stone by Cornerstone 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
A fine Cabernet for drinking now. It’s rich and soft in blackberry, currant, cherry, mocha and oak flavors, with a smooth mouthfeel and a long, spicy finish. Give it a brief decant.

Stepping Stone by Cornerstone 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $35
Somewhat soft and jammy. While it’s certainly delicious, this 100% Cabernet needs greater structure and complexity to add value to the sweet blackberries, cherries and chocolate.
