7/8/2006 - otisabdul wrote: 90 pointsPurchased on release for $28. This wine was all about balance, pure Stag's Leap currant/blackberry fruit, and a smooth finish. Fairly straightforward but easy to like. The tannins are cruising in the background and are probably checking out of town soon. Probably at or near its peak. Nice value in retrospect. |

7/8/2006 - N2Vin wrote: 91 pointsThe wine is still disjointed a bit at first. Powerful fruit and acidity take away some of the silkiness and balance I was looking for. This wine at 7 years of age is still young in my opinion. As the night wore on though, this Stags Leap wine began to soar, and I wound up with the glass stuck to my nose. It has potential to be better still. |

5/21/2006 - grossie wrote: 92 pointsI was coerced into opening this by Kumazam, who posted a note and seemed to think this was fading fast. Still dark red, bordering on purple, and moderately opaque, I can see through it when the pour is low, but not a full glass. Expressive but not sweet nose- cassis, minerals, a little pepper. Quite full-bodied, it's got a wonderful attack, a beautifully full mid-palate, and I find it finishes pretty tight still. As I enjoy this wine after dinner I keep coming back for more sniffs and mouthfulls. It's never sweet, or in-your-face, it slowly builds and pleases me more the more I drink it. Nine more to go, I'll start having them periodically, but I'd like to make 3 or 4 go another 10 years, just to see what develops. |

This is more of a in your face, fruit forward wine in my opinion. Red cherries and berries dominate. It is running a little hot. I don’t see any reason to hold off on drinking this wine now. Good QPR. |

5/4/2006 - Badfish wrote: NRThis was decanted for about two hours and has deep purple color to the rim with attractive aromas of crème de cassis, black cherry, and licorice. The palate opens up with concentrated dark berry and black cherry flavors backed by good acidity and sweet medium grained tannins. This wine is coming along nicely and I think it is a great effort from Steltzner. |

Loads of red fruit on the palate, with just a touch of vanilla. The tannins were solid and the finish long and fruity. This wine was vert tasty. |

It's still a jumble and you could tell: it was just bottled about 2 months ago. However, it was good enough to buy 4 bottles. Great QPR. Will revisit in several months. |
