2012 Baldacci Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Brenda's Vineyard Stags Leap District

5/11/2024 - SH Wu Likes this wine: 93 points

This wine nails 2012 for me. Fruited acidity with layers of sweet and savory spices. Deep, rich fruit contrast with the sweet american oak cooperage of vanilla, mocha and chocolate. Floral and menthol freshness prevent the fruit concentration from being overwhelming. You rarely see such a big cabernet be this stress free to drink.

I felt that I caught this wine at the exact transition where the primary and secondary notes are both in balance, and the bright fruited acidity just brings it to the next level.

Big, Bold, yet balanced and inky for a Stag's Leap juice. A definite crowd pleaser

Deep ruby color with slow legs. Oak, blackberry and cassis on the nose. Plum, tobacco leaf and pepper on the palate. Long leathery finish.

Opened on a whim, glad we did. Albeit young, this is fantastic Stag's Leap Cabernet. Tried twice at the estate with Michael & co. and found it thrilling then, my feelings sharing this bottle were unchanged. Didn't take any notes because the enjoyment was too much, extremely glad to hold 5 more of these and see them evolve as I'm certain they will over the next 15-20 years. Kudos to the winemaker here!

This is a good wine. It’s softened a bit with age, less tannins and the fruit is mellow. Drank it after dinner, and think it was probably better standalone. Very enjoyable.

A dark, almost inky wine. The nose has sweet cherries, a touch of mint, and some earth. The palate is fruit driven, but not overly so. There’s some cedar there as well. The tannins have some power and the acidity is well judged. It lacks the complexity or depth that might push it into the next tier of wines, but still offers good QPR. A few more years of bottle age will help, but I’d recommend a decent either way. A good amount of sediment in the bottle. 46% Cab, 34% Merlot, 16% Syrah, and 4% Cab Franc.

Decanted prior. Very dark color. 45% Cab Sauv, 36% Merlot, 10% CF, 7% Syrah, and 2% PV. Nice fruit on nose with a detracting woodiness. Blackberry is primary fruit but still wood (not oak) in finish. Jammy and on the sweet side.

Needs at least 60 minutes air time for flavors to open up. Dark fruit, vanilla, with a hint of chocolate on the finish. Young, but drinking well now.

Pleasant nose of dark berries and tobacco leaf. Tastes of blackberries, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate, and herbs. Medium to full bodied.

Very good wine. Has softened a bit over the years. Still quite good, but the tannins are muted and the fruit is lighter. Still full of dark berries and very little black licorice.

This vintage is now in a fantastic place. All the sharp edges are gone, black current, plum fruit, layered with forrest floor, wet leaves. Velvety fine, yet structured tannins with perfectly balanced acidity. Still plenty of life in this vintage.
