A beautiful pale salmon colored Rose. A Grenache/Syrah blend. Aged with some used oak that provide a softness to the expression and finish. A head turner. — 7 years ago

The nose on this alone had me sold. Quintessential Stag’s Leap with the deep espresso, dark chocolate, dusty aromas. Definitely some sweetness on the nose...graham cracker, smoked blueberries, and Mexican vanilla. The palate, from start to finish, is just a powerhouse of blue and black fruits mixed with baking spices, cocoa dusted dates and plum. I’d have no problem pop and pouring this. — 8 years ago


2012 Cab, very light tannins, dark cherry, lucious lovely. Easy to drink cab. — 8 years ago
A white wine. Does not pair well with pink rock candy. Yeasty - like eating the dough, even though you're not supposed to, when making bread. Soft lemon notes, grassy vibes. Happy sipper. — 9 years ago

This was fun to taste alongside the Matthew Wallace. Two very different AVAs (this being Coombsville, MW being Stag’s Leap). Both had similarities in dark fruit being the most dominant, but this had much more “cool” fruit notes as well as stone and graphite. This wine showed an immense amount of freshly squeezed blackberries on the mid-palate with cedar and mint. At 5-years old, it still shows as a baby with the tannic finish. Long decant necessary.
I was able to visit this property back in ‘16 and the caves and tasting room and drop dead gorgeous...some of the most beautiful I’ve come across. Entire line-up is very solid. — 8 years ago


A heck of a wine. Lots of herbs and pepper to this one. Really opened up with decanting. Love this wine. — 9 years ago

This was almost a clone of the Terra 9, but every facet was just turned up a notch. The mid-palate showed more complexity of fruits and spice. Huge mix of fresh raspberries, blackberries, cassis and nutmeg. Needs a 2+hr decant. — 8 years ago

I enjoyed tasting this and the Taplin Reserve side by side. Both wines are more red and black fruit driven. The Terra 9 wins the QPR award. Lots of cherries, black cherry, dark chocolate, blackberries and mocha. This could be pop and pour, but is best with 30mins-1hr of air. — 8 years ago

Was a little worried that it was going to be out of the drinking window. Fear not. Soft and smooth. — 7 months ago
