description: Very fine Cab, young and tight in tannins now, but enormously promising. All the parts have yet to come together, but each part is really good. The flavors are ripe and delicious in cassis, blackberries, cherries, cedar, pencil lead and minerals. The tannins are thick and sweet. Acidity is as fine as Stags Leap gets, and the oak is lavish but tasteful. All it needs is time. Best 2008–2012.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Reserve
