The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Schweizer Vineyard spent 30 months in 100% new French oak, resulting in plenty of cedary, cola-like accents to the ripe cherry fruit. It's medium to full-bodied, with that plush, velvety-silky Stags Leap District texture perfectly nailed. Sticklers might wish for a slightly longer finish and additional complexity, but this is a beauty.

Aromatic, unoaked and loaded with an array of lemon, white peach, flowers, nectarine, subtle herbs, pear and wet stone. This is mouthwatering, refined and simply incredible for the money!

I found this bottle in my cellar; took it down to Carmel by the Sea and enjoyed it with friends. The color was perfect, not a twinge of ruby, the aroma developed fine flower pedal with a herbaceous hint. Mouth flavors were big and powerful. For its age, I thought this wine was doing extremely well.
