This exquisite Stags Leap District Cabernet shows bright, very fresh cherry and blackberry aromas, a slight hint of bay leaf and black tea, loads of mocha and a few hints of caramel, vanilla and baking spices. On the palate the wine starts out full and soft and expands from there. The wine flows onto the palate with a sense of fresh, bright berry fruit and the texture of satin, then the finish lingers with the dark, ripe juicy berry notes again. A hint of toasted oak provides texture, weight and a sense of savory flavor to the wine.
