Stag's Leap Wine Cellars
S.L.V. Estate Bottled Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
I’m a sucker for these older SLWC SLVs...they hold up so well and harken back to a different style of Napa wines. Sipped on and let breathe over an hour and a half. Every sip was better than the last, no sign of it fading. 98 was panned but rewarded those who were patient. Drink ‘em if you have ‘em!

Pretty enjoyable. Blackberry sauce, wet soil, dusty on the nose. Cherry and black currant on the palate with such silky tannins and a ground coffee taste on the finish.

Deep ruby coloration. On the nose, currant, cocoa and plum. On the palate, lush mouthfeel, blueberry, dark berry, currant, oak and tobacco in the finish. Long and complex finish. Tannins are still medium-strong. Can easily continue to age and soften several more years.
