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! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Seventh wine and second one from Stags Leap District. Moderate intensity in the red shade with slight brownish edges. Sort of a fiend for this kind of nose. Started of with a slight vegetal/bell peppers on the nose and opened to a more dirty cellar and some lighter dark fruits. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) with moderate plus body. Slightly dry in the month finish but the body was coated in solid dark fruits and balanced acidity. Nice bit of spices too. Drink till 2030.

Blackberries, blueberry, black plum, raspberry, boysenberry, concord grape skins, leather, brown baking spices, vanilla, star anise, dusty resolved tannin finish. Drink now is not going to get better. Might even be on the start of the downslope.
