The nose is a subdued combination of blackberry, anise, dark chocolate and a touch of oak. The taste is complex and brooding, with just a hint of dark fruit at the outset, transitioning into some pepper and spice and a bit of limest... Read More

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars has a very strong reputation for producing excellent Napa Valley Cabs. I suppose this dates back to their success in the 1976 Paris Wine Tasting when it bested some first growth Bordeauxs. I've had the '03 & '05 S.L.V. and their a few vintages of their Artemis and was impressed. However, all of their 2007 bottlings (C... Read More
