Beautiful wine and actually tasting amazingly. Perfumey & fruity nose of cocktail cherries, dried cranberries and sugar plums. Not a lot of oak presence anymore, almost see-through clarity with a pretty claret color. Low tannins and tamed acidity. — 6 days ago

WOW normally don’t love Chardonnay but this is a very light, drinkable wine. Apricot and grapefruit with a light oak finish.

Prune juice, rose petal and potting soil. Lots of integrated oak. A little upfront texture, mouthfeel of sweet fruit that fades quickly. — 18 days ago

Medium ruby with little cherry red flecks. Distinctively Stags Leap with notes of fresh cut violets, red cherries, and leather upfront. Some baking spice and deep dark chocolate, as well. First things first, this is way too young to open. You’re looking at around another decade before you have to start worrying but it’s still promising and pleasant right now. As huge and typical as it threatens to be, it never goes off the deep end. It retains that smoothness and lack of blinding acidity that so many other big Napa Cabs live and die by. Even at this age, it’s an approachable Cab with an hour of decanting. On the palate there’s plenty of nutmeg, dried red cherry, and blackberries. Menthol, vanilla cream, and more leather shine here. Hold this if you can but it’s still really nice right now. — 10 days ago

So lively and flavorful. Soft and velvety texture but concentrated and full mouthfeel with mixed berries, baking spices and sweet tobacco. Some toffee and dried figs at the end. — 6 days ago

Stags Leap Manor, as it was called in the 1920s, was known as one of the prominent country retreats in the Napa Valley at a time when resort and spa business was big. Pale lemon stone fruit and citrus aromas and toasty yeasty notes. On the palate melon, pineapple and pear, fresh & crisp with notes of oak, a bit creamy. Long finish with wet stone and mineral character, well balanced, stays crisp on ending. Nice! — 17 days ago

2 hour decant (lots of chunky sediment). A triumphant inky dark ruby red with just a little bricking. Wow!......Buckle your seat belts for this Stags Leap "iron fist in a velvet glove" wine!! On the nose: BIG nose with creme brulee, currants, red fruit, touch of smokey bbq. Taste: velvety mix of red/blue fruit, chocolate espresso, pencil lead, and currants. Some slightly grippy tannins slide into a spicy tart cherry long finish. What a treat to drink this Sat. night. — 11 days ago
