Stagecoach Vineyard
Addendum Atlas Peak Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon
Atlas Peak, Napa Valley, California, USA
100% Stagecoach Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is medium dark and smells like expensive Napa Cab. The fruit is ripe and dark, but there is also a savory aspect that rolls up pencil shavings, sage, black olives and mocha into an aromatic ball. The palate is rather smooth, but with tannins that make themselves known on the back end. This will tame a steak and not work up a sweat.

This dark wine is loaded with big, ripe fruit. The nose carries black and blue berries in spades, with a gorgeous, savory undercurrent. Coffee, smoked meat, olives and sage play into that understated accompaniment. Sweet oak spice is the bow on the package. The wine drinks a bit young, with vibrant tannins. The palate is just as lovely as the aromas led me to believe. Those dark berries mix with a touch of oak - actually more like a “whack.” Everything plays together beautifully, though. Too much is sometimes just enough.

Dark purple, toasted oak and alcohol on nose, currants and plums on the palate. Dry, bold. Liking this better than last night’s Cab from the same winery.
