2007 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Cask 23

Stags Leap District more

3/18/2022 - MemorialWineFan wrote: 93 points

I've tried many cabs from this age in the last few years. This one had no fade and is juicy and wonderful. Thankfully, the cork held up too and had a long way to go. Most of the cabs like Caymus, Conn Valley Anderson, Frank Family, Heitz, Bryant Family, etc. all go to the same place with a linear finish that is underwhelming. I applaud the vintage. I want a different experience in each cab and got it here. Other than Diamond Creek can't think of the last time I get a different flavor profile. Well done.

Good structure. No issue at this age. Well rounded and full bodied. Tannins have relented and grape essence coming through. Good bottle.

Wine has held up great despite many other producers having a fade in their wine at this age. Enjoyable.

It's a nice cab, but overpriced. I have tasted over 20 of these. Core issue is the cheap cork they used. It's a shame since the bottle is costly. From the 20 I have tried this one is solid with no flaws. Several have had flaws. I think it from importing grapes from who knows where. Thus a lot a variability in the wine.

Surprised me. Drinking lovely. Still held together and not moving to that one place which older cabs do. Cork was spongy though. I was lazy and snapped it, but surgically extracted it. Don't drink much from this maker, but I get the feeling their wines aren't over manipulated.
