2021 Stags' Leap Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Winemaker Notes: For Christophe Paubert, Winemaker and General Manager at Stags’ Leap Winery, the identity of a wine is found through the terroir. Christophe’s career has spanned the industry from sales to winemaking, and his impressive background includes positions at Chateau d’Yquem and Gruaud-Larose as well as projects in Chile, Spain and Washington State. But it was the terroir of Stags’ Leap that drew him to California.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
James Suckling - "A very refined and polished red with fine tannins, bright acidity and a tangy undertone. Medium-bodied, juicy and savory. Citrusy. Drink or hold."
Wine Enthusiast - "Earthy, cocoa powder aromatics combine with ripe black fruits on the palate. Lengthy, robust, full bodied and fully flavored, this powerful wine is carried by powdery-fine tannins and a persistent, palate-cleansing acidity."
Wine Spectator - "There's a caressing feel to the mix of cassis and boysenberry puree flavors that are gilded with a pretty violet note. The long finish has a toasty edge and lingers prettily."
