Jun 8th, 20192016 barrel sample.
This is gonna be awesome. Very prominent tannins, which are to be expected. Notes of coffee and maple syrup on the nose. Deep extraction, similar to a bottomless pit. Huge overripe cherries, cassis and a muscular frame. Finishes with urgency. A stellar example from a great producer.

The second year of this great wine. '14 yielded twice the production of '13 and expanded from Stags Leap to Rutherford. This resulted in a RP rating of 94 pt. Congratulations John and Stacey. Dark berries with hints of cocoa, tobacco and cinnamon. Adding to my collection!

Feb 24th, 2017Imagine chocolate covered black cherries. Not sure anything else can better describe this bottle. Oh, by the way, did I mention I'm going to catch up with John next week? Can't wait!!

Feb 24th, 2017Just like I remembered it when tasting it at the 750 tasting in Napa back in February!! Soft an elegant hints of melted milk chocolate with notes of ripe black cherries. Soft tannins - this is a stunner!
