Great wine with Ch Mouton characteristics of deep flavors and old world length in finish. Surprisingly good.

Wine was everything you would want in a Stag's Leap cab. Subtle, smooth, plenty of red fruit and tannins, but understated. Enough bottle age to prove this is one of Napa's best vineyard. Drank with Prime NY strip au poivre. Wish I had a case.

Just as I remember when I had the other bottle in 2008. Smooth, layered, just plain delicious. With chocolate torte, this was perfect. This merlot port is my favorite and saved only for special occasions.

(Sick when I drank this) notes of moss and cellar on the nose. Very rich taste. Carmel and tobacco.

This was fantastic. After a sip, my wife stated: "This is the best wine I've ever had." She has been a wine enthusiast a long time. A little tawny in appearance. Red currant and iodine aromas. The mouthfeel was sublime. Piles of velvet. This just totally caressed every corner of your mouth. This gushed black currant, liquid smoke and had a tad of iodine on the finish to echo the nose. Long finish. Balanced. Classic. 95

Two years since my last bottle and even better now. Getting more savory meaty notes along with beautifully balanced fruit and mild tannin. 4.75 stars.

Cramped in the bottle for 37 years no wonder it needed to stretch out in the decanter. Upon opening, full nose of red currants, sous bois, old oak, and subtle hints of dried herbs and potpourri. The taste was closed down cranberry and red currants with hints of cured tobacco and sous bois like the nose. After a half hour, fully integrated, and a joy to drink. Medium weight with medium fruit framed with secondary elements, wonderful finish with weightless fruit and good grip. Kept improving. Tireless drinking.

First stop on our eighth day in Napa Valley is to our friend Aaron to taste through some of the wines from Myriad Cellars, Bench Vineyards, Steltzner Vineyards, Riverain Vineyards and Flint Knoll. Seventh wine is from Steltzner Vineyards and is their Cabernet Sauvignon.

Deep purplish ruby red. Rich nose with a mixture of baking spices, dark gravel and a bit floral too. Medium plus tannins (7.5/10) with a full body. Red profile on the palate with red currants, cinnamon and minerality. Long finish. Drink till 2034.

Clearly age has accentuated many flavors and characteristics here....fruit still quite evident...serous sediment but to be expected from an unfiltered wine. glycerine in the glass. Deep, dark violet color, super thick mouthfeel. strong aromatics. Medium to long finish. All in all exceptional and well deserving of this score. SO glad I have a handful of this this vintage left.

Decanted 1 hour. Drank after a Maybach and was every bit as good. Great depth, spice and full balance across the palate. Great wine recommended by a friend.

A little closed for awhile but really blossomed over an hour in the bottle and lasted for a couple of hours easy. Deep fruit, nice nose, what more could you ask for. I think it was Steltzner fruit that went into the '74 Insignia, one of the best wines ever made in Napa, IMHO.

This was a lovely wine with a long finish that while very satisfying makes you want another sip. Wish I had more.

Black inky hue-- teeth stainer. Dark berries,limestone, white pepper nose. Full bodied than typical Malbec (more fruit forward), easy drinking. White pepper/spice, dark berries, smooth, limestone notes, perfect time to drink, lush, velvety, medium finish. Developing into a really nice wine. Hard to believe this is a Malbec out of Stags Leap. Paired great with our spicy asian meal.

4.4 - Two hour decant. Very deep dark purple-hued magenta color. Juicy black cherry, charred nutmeg, wild strawberry, and chocolate-coated wafer on the nose. Smooth, dry, full bodied palate. Firm, full tannins on the long finish. 100% CS, 208 cases made.

New wine to me. Needs more time or a 4+ hour decant. Already very exciting, even with the poor prep (short aeration).

4.4 - Four hour decant. Bright and very deep magenta color. Currant, black cherry, date, light caramel, and gumball shell on the nose. Smooth, dry palate, with cottony acidity. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish.

This is not a plush elegant wine, but rather avant-garde and masculine. It’s a touch young and could use more acidity.
