New vintage of this favorite. More approachable then some previous vintages. Plush and elegant. Great balance. Really enjoyed the bottle.

Dark berry and chocolate notes. Rich, but the mouthfeel is soft. Quick finish. Mostly Stag’s Leap fruit.

Mar 1st, 2020Smooth cab with lots of layers. Nicely balanced. Revisiting 5/5/19. Opening up nicely right out of the gate. Notes of cassis and red fruit. Very structured still, young, but already elegant.

Jul 5th, 2018Love this cab. Glad I splurged on a half case for my collection. Nice structure. Elegant and complex. Re-tasted Memorial Day and confirmed my rating. Beautiful cab for a beautiful weekend. Takes a few hours to really bring out the flavors. Really three hours to shine.

Ecuberant nose of liquorice and boack berries. Very dark fruit driven, very Napa but not excessive. Fine tannins, length and drunk too young
