| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.2 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Insane Diego on 2/5/2019 & rated 94 points: Stags leap CAB at its best! Fantastic wine hitting all the boxes now and maybe some room to grow.
Opened for 90 min and decanted for 10. Great nose of berry and some musty earth. Big on the front with some chewy ness, tannins still present but softening, nice velvet smooth texture on the back end with good finish.
Complex enough to find different flavors throughout the bottle. I had blackberry's and a bit of cooked plums and then later I had distinctly green pepper and even some watermelon. Super enjoyable and complicated for this amateur to describe.
I think this will continue to age well, although I can’t imagine how much better it could get!! (1480 views) | | | Tasted by mrmikemtr on 7/8/2016 & rated 90 points: Still very early. This needs 3-5 more years of sleep. Very closed down. Big chewy currant. Big tannins. Good potential if you have bottles. (2273 views) | | | Tasted by MAXIMUM SATISFACTION on 5/8/2015 & rated 95 points: Plenty of depth and structure here. Still young with a moderate amount of tannins. I suspect it's closed off in some areas. Nonetheless it has a fragrant nose and silky smooth mouthfeel. Restrained flavors of kalamata olive brine, smoked meat, black fruit, menthol, and anise emerge. Much more elegant than expected. Give it another 2 years or be prepared to decant a least 5 hours.

The '10s are really promising to be a fine vintage -- some real lively acidity and good fruit, without too much alcohol. (3717 views) |

| Lindstrom Wines Producer websiteCabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Stags Leap District Stags Leap District |
