8/11/2020 - Quiet Lion Likes this wine: 93 pointsDecanted over cocktails. I haven't had the single-vineyard Clos du Val before but the regular bottling ages so well. This still had quite a bit of fruit and oak on the palate -- perhaps the Oak Vineyard is aptly named. Showing well and possible upside if it progresses to velvety integration as some older vintages have. These seem to retain their fruit in aging better than some other mature Napa cabs, perhaps because of the intensity of Stag's Leap grapes. I can imagine decades ago buying a case of these every year and enjoying them slowly over my lifetime. |

7/5/2019 - bestdamncab Likes this wine: 93 pointsThank you Alex for sharing the wine. Nose of black berry, cassis, and dry earth, Bordeaux nose, same on the palate, big body, still holding well with lots of life, time to enjoy is now, almost mouth filling fruit, elegant, lovely fruit, lovely flavors, very tasty, and a long, long flavorful finish and pleasant aftertaste. Uploaded a photo. |

2/10/2018 - kmforster Likes this wine: 90 pointsReally needs to decant for an hour - resinous notes recede allowing secondary characteristics and still-vigorous fruit to come through. Enjoyed with prime rib. |

2/20/2011 - zinfidel wrote: 91 pointsTasted at winery from magnum. Well-balanced with a nice full mid-palate and medium finish. Obviously a strong vintage for this producer, it is significantly better than the 01, which comes across as more austere and lacking the fruit of the 02. Dark cassis fruit with the trademark stags leap notes of pine tar and cedar. Was told that this vintage was unique in being 100% cabernet sauvignon, whereas other years have been blends. Drink over the next 5-10 years. |
