Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon
Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California, USA
Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, sweet plums, cooked cherries, cedar, coffee, toast, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates and peppercorn.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, sweet cherries, cedar, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, peppercorn and herbs.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious 7 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Stags Leap District in Napa Valley. Spicy and entertaining. Rich and Tangy.
Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Fruit forward and elegant.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.
Still not drinking at its peak, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec; 3% Merlot; 2% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (40% new) French Oak barrels for 18 months. A small production of only 9 barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$85.

Impenetrably dark and brooding with a slight ruby core. Very pleasant nose of cocoa, old licorice, black cherries, and tobacco. This baby works very hard to not let the oak dominate everything going on here and succeeds. Interesting juxtaposition with this. Big and bold, of course but also a bit subtle and graceful. Firm tannins and just enough acid. The fruit is the star of the show. Beautiful notes of red and blue fruits and tons of herbs. This is too early to open this and now I’m wondering what this fruit will be like a few more years down the road.
