October 8, 2023 - Still holding up very well. Consistent with my previous note. Delightful with grilled NY strip steak.

February 6, 2023 - Alittle earth, oak and dark cherry on the nose when opened. Quite round and despite being 14.75% alcohol, it did show as being hot or really that big of wine. Second day it showed very very round….I would drink this with Pork or fillet mignon.

April 18, 2022 - An elegant, medium-bodied, well-integrated, smooth-drinking Bordeaux-styled red blend that was an excellent complement to a tenderloin beef roast with a porcini and red wine reduction. That said, the nose and palate were more restrained than one would expect from a Stags Leap red.

December 5, 2020 - Nose of plum, leather, charred wood, nutmeg, cloves and forest floor, well-balanced palate of plum sauce and black cherry with secondary notes of mocha, mushroom and a suggestion of mint, rounded tannins, lengthy, peppery finish. Evolves nicely after opening.
