February 27, 2024 - Ruby purple in color. Acid medium high, alcohol high, full bodied, bone dry, high unripe tannins.
Aromas of plums, cassis, blackberries and some woody notes.
On the palate, dark plums, black berries, baking spices, all spice, vanilla, and oak. Very tannic, needs a lot more time.in the cellar. Was a mistake to open this one so early. -

February 15, 2024 - wow. filled the bill perfectly for a good Valentine's wine, with steak. good out of the bottle and kept softening and improving for the hour or more we took to drink it. we poured it into a decanter, which I recommend. not only for the beneficial air, but so you can see how much is left. the punt is so big, and the bottle so heavy, you might be disappointed if you turn up the bottle near the end to find nothing left. it is expensive, nearly $100, but I was certainly not disappointed, and immediately made a mental note to buy more. not subtle or thoughtful, but intense and rich.
I just realized this is stags' leap wine and not stag's leap wine. I never had a stags' leap wine I liked before, and was always a stag's leap drinker. glad to learn both wineries have something fine to offer. -

While on the young side, this wine had enough balance and sweet tannins to be perfectly drinkable with the steak. I'd be happy to drink it again.
