"Terrific stuff, a blend of fruit from Fay and SLV that's creamy and supple—just what you expect texturally from Stag's Leap District Cabernet. Knockout aromas are slightly floral and cedary, artfully blending tobacco and black currants, while the flavors are pure plum, vanilla and spice. Chewy and rich on the finish, suggesting that although delicious now, it should hold up in the cellar just fine."
