Reynolds Family Winery
Steadfast Cabernet Sauvignon
Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California, USA
Side by side comparison with the 2013 Steadfast Cabernet by Steve Reynolds. The wines are very consistent in just about every aspect. The nose shows deep dark fruit with some hints of cinnamon. Elegant full bodied tastes of blackberries, plum and dark cherries come thru powerfully on the palate. The tannins in this wine are very silky and sleek and thus supportive of long term aging. The finish is long and luscious. The acidity of this vintage is slightly brighter than the 2013 but in my opinion gives the wine a little more character. I think this wine compares toe to toe with any Napa Cabernet out there without being a one dimensional fruit bomb.

Feb 20th, 2016One more reason to love wines from the '12 vintage. Worth the price tag on presentation alone, and somehow lives up to expectations when it hits the glass and finally your mouth.
