WineDiva's Review

Founded in 2001 by winemaker Ted Kane, River Stone is a small estate winery located in Oliver BC. It's comprised of two estate vineyards: River Rock, the 10-acre home vineyard planted in 2003; Boulder City Vineyard purchased in 2020 and planted in 2005. The estate focuses primarily on Bordeaux-varieties and aromatic whites.
The Corner Stone is a blend of Merlot (36%), Cabernet Franc (29%), Cabernet Sauvignon (17%), Malbec (12%) and Petit Verdot (6%) grown in the River Rock Vineyard.
Black cherry and current aromas are layered with cedar, toffee, licorice, leather, dried herbs and wildflowers. It has a fresh entry and shows more grip and power than the single varietal Merlot. Overall more earthy with smooth but more pronounced tannins.
Components were aged in French oak (33% new) for approx. 12 months, then it was blended and returned to barrel for six, for a total of 18 months.
