September 18, 2021 - Though theoretically past its drinkability prime, this was still quite a good bottle of wine. A rich fruity nose, deep black cherry color, mellow notes of dark stone fruit and blackberries. Smooth finish.

February 17, 2020 - Textbook elegant Stags Leap cab with fresh and bright red fruits of pomegranate, raspberry, and red currants.
Nice streak of backing spices, cloves, and limestone minerality provided a nice grip on the finish. An excellent bottle from an obscure, no longer existent vineyard. -

April 29, 2013 - Nice cab. Great big berry flavors, smooth finish. Nose is real intriguing. Glad I have more.

January 21, 2012 - Pop and pour. Aroma of red fruit and cedar. Palate was dominated by a strong wooded taste that was neither cedar or oak. Fruit was in the background. I believe this needs a few years or a good decant.
