one sip is all it takes to fall in love with this 100% cabernet, which hails from the winery's stags leap district vineyards. it's soft, lush and opulent in blackberry, cherry, blueberry, cassis, dark chocolate and smoky oak flavors. although it was aged in 100% new french oak, the oak isn't at all heavy. rather, it's perfect, adding just the right touch of smoke. really fabulous, and the tannins define stags leap, so strong yet sweetly refined. if you can keep your hands off it, this is a wine to cellar for many years.
