2001. Delirious crème brûlée and Tangerine, hazelnut, brioche, mango. Sweet but not syrupy really superb. — a year ago
Not rating my own wine but it’s what I think of - when I think of Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine seems like it’s on a long aging curve. Hirondelle Vineyard lies in the heart of Stags Leap and shows it. I recommend a generous decant for 30min if you’re going to drink before 2027. — 2 years ago

Sage Ridge Vineyard is in the eastern hills of the Napa Valley above Lake Hennessy. It’s an amazing site. The Secret Door version comes from Block 38 aka “Coyote Lookout” 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Very intense without being over the top. It’s my wine - I’ll not inflate the score with my own rating. — 2 years ago
