1985 Steltzner Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap Districtmore |
11/14/1992 - bestdamncab Likes this wine: 91 pointsTHANKSGIVING TASTING WITH THE WINE GROUP (Walnut Creek, Ca.): Rich cherry fruit on nose and palate, almost mature and reached peak but needs 5 years to peak, well balanced, shows 1985 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage. |

7/14/2023 - sid_loves_wine wrote: flawedI'm not really sure how to "rate" bottles that are a bit too far gone, so I'll mark this flawed. What's more, I really expected this to feel more alive, especially with a perfect fill level, so it's possible it really was flawed to begin with. Almost showed some good dried dark fruit on opening but faded immediately, showing strange, lightly oxidative aromas that reminded me of yamahai sake, and not in a good way. Pretty flavorless on the palate. Could be TCA, not sure. My first experience with a birth year wine was a bit of a bust, but you can't win em all! |

3/8/2023 - Delund Likes this wine: 90 pointsHalf-hour decant to start, served in the low 60s F. Cork in great condition. A deep garnet color, no bricking. Rich earthy nose, with a hint of menthol tobacco. Black cherry fruit dominates the palate. Initially velvety mouthfeel, evolved to a silky drying wine with a short but pleasant finish. Acidity has faded a bit, but this is still a well-balanced wine. |

7/23/2022 - shza Likes this wine: NRI didn’t take notes so not rating (this was a last minute sub for a birth year ‘78 Rioja I opened and found totally oxidized), but this tastes considerably younger than 20 years for a Napa cab. Tannins we’re still a little tight immediately upon opening, though they loosened up pretty quickly. Not past peak at all. |

7/4/2022 - Yack Man wrote: 91 pointsDark currants, black, slightly tart black cherry with a crushed grapes on the nose. Smooth, dry on the palate with evident acidity. This one seems to be more old style, built for cellaring as I think it might show better with time but it's just okay to good at this stage. 90+/ 91 |
