Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon

16 out of Mag was tasting quite nice.

The wine is starting to tire. Incredible nose, cherries, blueberries, spice, leather and tobacco. On the palate it is probably past its prime. Super soft tannins, slight red fruits and a bit of oak. Very fun and interesting wine. Super enjoyable.

Stags leap blackberry funk. Always good texture from pine ridge.

15.2. Cassis. Blueberries. Concentrated. Long. Hot.

Over extracted, almost jammy. Good nose though.

Love ❤️ Pine Ridge texture, viscous and supple. Oil, clove, pulverized black berries.

Rich & flavorful with rocky earthiness, smooth, great finish!

Still concentrated in fruit; tannins have developed into silky quality.

I really enjoyed this. Lots of cherry and licorice notes - rich but held together with acidity and tannin.

Happy Thanksgiving, I hope everyone is having a relaxing evening with family and friends. Tonight we served the 2013 Pine Ridge Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon.

The nose reveals ripe black cherry, black raspberry, dark plum, black currant, licorice, chocolate and dark rich soil.

On the palate there is black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black currant, licorice, graphite and wet soil.

This wine is full bodied with a rich, silky smooth mouth feel with medium + acidity and medium + well developed tannins that lead to a long dark fruit earthy finish. I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and that a very nice wine is being opened with family and friends. Have a great rest of your long weekend and be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷
