winemaker's notes:

"The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five (99% Cabernet and 1% Petit Verdot) is a meatier, more structured wine, but slightly deeper than the 2004, with broad black currant fruit flavors intermixed with some spice box, crushed rock, and spring flowers. It is characteristic of Stags Leap in its elegance and finesse. The wine has good acidity and freshness, but is long and seamless. Drink it over the next 12-15 years." - The Wine Advocate

I would buy this wine again

This sends out a full, spicy aroma on the pour, with a deep rich nose the moment you pick up your glass. I found it to have wonderful complex flavors that were deeply fruity with more than a hint of spice. The finish is cool, long, fresh, lasting well. As I've said in past reviews, I'm usually in love with Barossa Valley wines - far more than the Californians. This wine turns my head and could easily change my mind! I very seldom give out five star ratings - this one is a FULL five stars!

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
