Gorgeous nose of ripe pineapple, lime zest, petrol and flint. The acidity is very intense but is supported by the lush fruit. Its long finish is indicative of this quality producer and its excellent reputation — 9 years ago

9.0

Excellent, well made Cabernet from a great winemaker, from a challenging vintage. Ripe cassis, black currant, ground coffee, and subtle dry earth notes abound. Tannins are still a bit tight even after lengthy decanting, but acid and alcohol are nicely balanced. — 9 years ago

9.2

Intensely fragrant and unmistakably Stags' Leap quality. This is a gorgeous example of structure, finesse and elegance wrapped into one bad ass wine. 13.8% abv allows the acid and tannins to balance and give backbone to the generous red and black fruits that make up the core of this wine. — 9 years ago

Focused, vivid and fresh red fruit abound. Strawberry, white raspberry and candied cherry mingle with cinnamon, star anise and subtle coffee aromas. The palette echoes the nose with vibrant acidity and supple grape tannins. — 9 years ago
