Stag's Leap Wine Cellars
S.L.V. Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
This bottle was in a closed and dumb phase, the nose stuck at stinky sock and the powerful core of blackberry fruit and freshly made compote was just a bit too disjointed to enjoy. Hold for 3-4 years minimum.

Continues to be a nice wine with mellowed tannins and red/dark fruits without being too overtly fruit-forward. Pleasant to drink - not worth the price tag though

Pencil lead, cocoa powder, blackberry, fresh violets. Sweet oak, very round, and lasting finish!

I'm not sure it's worth the price but it is very good. Classic Napa cab flavors with tannins that are in your face.
