The Vice
Super Tuscan Stag's Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, blackberries, sweet cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, chocolates, vanilla, aluminum and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 4 year old from the problematic 2020 vintage is drinking beautifully now. Feels like a Napa Cabernet with an old world twist. Interesting stuff.
This Single Vineyard is fruit forward and rich. Complex and interesting. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime.
Tasty and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will also pair nicely with BBQ Meats.
A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Sangiovese and 25% Malbec. Aged in French oak barrels for 22 months. Unfiltered. A small production of only 1,700 bottles.
14.3% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$125.
