12/2/2016 - Francois Le Mouel Likes this wine: 94 pointsTasted on day 2...and it was still fabulous. Gobs of fruit and chocolate, without being over the top...this is yummy, not jammy. Rich, deep and already quite complex, this will be a beauty in 15-20 years. 7 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (4) |

2012 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon ArtemisNapa Valley more |
2/3/2016 - bestdamncab Likes this wine: 85 pointsTasted over two nights, a gift to Kathy from a fellow worker, label showed fading due to sun and light. Nose of black cherry, sage, and earth, more of the same on the palate, touch simple, lacks fruit and winemaking skill, medium body, medium finish. 1 person found this helpful, do you?

This wine was big, fruity, fairly nice if a bit heavy and dense. 5 years ago I thought this wasn't ready. Now, I feel that it could improve with more cellar time, but I worry that it will just get more dense and heavy-handed. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (4) |

2014 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Chardonnay KariaNapa Valley more |
10/8/2016 - Lipsman Does not like this wine: flawedOn the verge of completely cracking up. Tastes of Madeira and rank caramel upon opening. Some of that blows off with time, leaving a sort of sweet-sickly taste, almonds, and citrus. From Trader Joe's. Not recommended. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (4) |

3/31/2017 - Badmonkey wrote: 89 pointsPurple fruit - blackberry, dark cherry, and a little plum. Smooth mid-palate with decent depth for the price point. A little rich and somewhat sweet. Solid finish but not overly long nor deep. As usual, a solid/reliable wine for the price but it doesn't over achieve in my opinion. 95% cab, 4% merlot, and 1% malbec. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (4) |

2013 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon S.L.V. Block 2Stags Leap District more |
6/13/2020 - Wolfde Likes this wine: 94 pointsAfter about 1 hour of breathing, this wine opened up beautifully and showed all its aroma and flavor. An excellent balance of fruit, spice, and tannin. Long lovely finish. On the nose it shows cherry, clove, nutmeg, and a hit of tar. On the palette, the fruit and spice tastes become more complex and the tannins play a successful supporting role. This wine was lovely with a dinner of homemade ravioli filled with fresh corn and herbs dressed with pine nuts in a butter and marjoram sauce; steak and minted peas fresh from the garden. 1 person found this helpful, do you?

2/4/2022 - TXRDW wrote: 97 pointsAmazingly long finish. Such strong tannins, though quite chalky. Very unique and well structured wine, positioned for the long run. Perfectly balanced, great mix between new and old world styles. Not sweet at all, but with refreshing dark fruit to balance mid pallet earthiness. Can’t imagine how much better this wine will show as the tannins wear off. What is really intriguing is what lies underneath the tannins. Such quality fruit. Definitely a wine worth trying now, but only if you have several other bottles that you can enjoy as the wine develops. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

8/11/2017 - Francophile1 Likes this wine: 93 pointsSurprisingly good... needs about an hour of decanting, but once open and breathing, this is a beauty. With a little more age, this will be a good ringer for the Margaux appellation. Love the bitter dark chocolate, lavender, violates, and white flowers. Maybe a kin to Chateau Lascombes? 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

12/4/2019 - msuwine wrote: 94 pointsThis classy and savory wine probably needs another year or two in order to hit its stride, but it has a compelling polish and intensity at the moment. I haven't had a wine from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars in about 10 years, but this is distinct and delicious wine, albeit a touch darker and earthier than your typical Napa Cabernet. 3 people found this helpful, do you?

3/14/2020 - sean7711 Likes this wine: 91 pointsNot what I was expecting from a SLWC Fay wine. No velvety, soft texture. On PnP it was extremely tart. Threw in decanter for an hour and it did improve from there. High toned red/cherry fruits, tart/acidic. Maybe needs more time? Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

6/10/2022 - CGC2012 Likes this wine: 94 pointsVery well balanced and after a 2hr decant, the finish was very long and seamless. Tannins have melted away and are perfectly integrated. Still some fruit, but more secondary notes now. Out of the 4 vintages Ive had (05’, 09’, 12’, & 13’), this 2012 was my favorite. Drink now or in next couple years if you like balance and fruit still in your Cabs. 4 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |
