winemaker's notes:

Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 3%Cabernet Franc, 1% Malbec

Cabernet has always been a mainstay in the winemaking program at Stags' Leap Winery, and winemaker Kevin Morrisey likes to blend a combination of estate fruit and grapes from key vineyards located in many of the other prestigious Napa Valley appellations. Much of the estate vineyard is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon where deep, well-drained, loamy volcanic soils make this a perfect place to grow Cabernet.

Rich ruby red in color, luscious aromatics of black cherry, blackberries, and plum greet the nose with a slight back note of earth, leather, and bittersweet chocolate. Flavors of plum compote, spice, green tea, and cocoa are the introduction to this wine as velvety, unctuous tannins blend with a juicy, naturally balanced mid-palate of complex structure. Layers of spice, coffee and cream integrate with fruit notes to the end.

rating (9/25/2010):

Rich smells of leather, cherries, blackberrys, strong oak and earth come through on the nose with a nice body sticking to the sides of the glass. Upon first taste rich oak, cherries and tannins come through and finish with a smooth fruit blend of plums, blackberries, slight vanilla undertone, and dark cherries. Would reccomend storing for several years or letting aerate in a decanter for 30-45 minutes.
rating (9/23/2010):
Great wine - I drank it by mistake. I had it in the wine rack for a couple of years and didn't know how much it was worth, so I opened it one night and had a glass by myself. This wine should not be wasted on one person. Now I feel too guilty to drink it.
