    2015 wine is evolving nicely, with dark fruits of blackberry and mocha, firm mid palate and structured finish. Perfectly paired with a wagyu NY strip. Enjoy now or in the next 5+ years.

    Guy Markum – July 3, 2021

    Deep purple, youthful color. Oak and vanilla nose. Mouthful of wine with ripened blackberry and mild vanilla. Dark fruit forward with green notes, minimal sweetness, mild acidity, and a luscious finish. Not great with Italian food, better by itself.

    William Craig – August 20, 2021

    Promising but young. Bright cherry color. Jammy cherry and raspberry on the palate with syrup. Delicate for a Stags Leap wine after 3 hours. Grippy tannins suggest long life. Second bottle to try in 3 years.

    Deep ruby red with aromas of leather and raspberries. Heavy feel in the mouth with good acidity and well-structured tannins. Flavors of currant, blackberries, cedar, molasses and leather. Great finish with a bold and classic Napa Cab profile. A winner that’s worth the price.

    Coravined at cellar temp, this wine is opulent and full-bodied with notes of dark blue fruit, plum, chocolate, and slate. As it warms up, it becomes slightly boozy. Overall, a delicious indulgence. Drink now or hold. 96 points from Coravin, 93/94 points from a full cork pull.

    WA – May 25, 2023

    The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, is prances out of the glass with vibrant blackberries, redcurrant jelly and cassis notes with hints of mocha, Indian spices and bay leaves. Full-bodied with flamboyant black fruits and velvety tannins in the mouth, it has a refreshing backbone and long, spicy finish.

    JD – May 25, 2023

    A blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Malbec, and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate comes all from the cool Stags Leap District and was brought up mostly in new French oak. It’s a full-bodied, ripe, powerful 2019 that nevertheless stays balanced and weightless on the palate, with silky tannins and a rare level of polish and elegance. Giving up lots of pure cassis and blue fruits as well as notes of violets, underbrush, and high-class oak, it already offers pleasure yet is going to evolve gracefully for 20 years or more. If you’re looking for ripe, sexy, seamless, and impeccably made Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, look no further.

    VIN – May 25, 2023

    The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is an especially opulent, full-throttle wine off this site. Racy and sumptuous to the core, the Estate is a terrific example of the extroverted side of the vintage. Inky fruit, chocolate, new leather and spice build as this sumptuous Cabernet shows off its curves. I imagine the 2019 will drink well with minimal cellaring.
