Estate Bottled Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon

Rich, ripe and fruit forward. Smooth tannins. Delicious to drink over the next 5 years.

You can’t find this wine ... solid Napa cab. Big enough and holds its own .

First time having this selection and I’m really enjoying it; definitely the kind of Cab I’d like on hand at all times for meals and for when guests come over. Full, round notes of vanilla, clove, nutmeg, eucalyptus, and baking spices intermingled with a dark berry medley. Been a while since I’ve had a Cab with this much vanilla on the nose but it’s not off-putting in the least.

Jim makes solid juice - this one needs some air, but it opened nicely and was an easy going quaff. Any day.

Great opening flavors with blackberries, plums, then with chocolate and licorice. Rich tannins, mild acidity on a long finish

Really pretty dark violet with a ruby red rim, in the glass. On the nose, there’s some wonderful leather, chocolate candy bar, fresh strawberries, and floral aromatics. Not nearly as huge as contemporaries, this is smooth and medium bodied with fine tannins. Juicy Stags Leap fruit on the palate with raspberry, chocolate covered strawberries, and ripe cherries. Vanilla, moist earth, dried flowers and herbs, and a touch of smoke. Not a lot of bells and whistles, just a really, really good example of Napa Cabernet.

This is a fabulous Napa valley cab. The nose is amazing, a full blast of aromatic goodness. Fruit is blackberry, cherry. Clove and cocoa with a hint of vanilla in the center. Mineralization subtle but engaging at the finish. I may have had better Napa cabs, but none in recent memory. It’s exciting to consider what this might be in 5+ years.

Smooth given the young age. Flavors and layers could develop for another 5-7 years

Ok but not great for cost.

Loving the white Regusci as much as their reds. Refreshing with a nice depth.
