2018 Stags' Leap Winery Cabernet Sauvignon "The Leap", USA, California, Napa, Stags Leap, Wine Rev iew
Gorgeous wine that needs a bit of cellar time. This is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot. Inly purple in color, magenta at the rim, clear and bright. The nose is tight but with air opens to cassis, chocolate, cedar and a scent best described as sauteed onions (unusual but very nice). Firm tannins. Full bodied. Good acidity. On the palate cassis, chocolate, char and a slight chalky note. Great almost seamless texture. A bit of tart raspberries make a delightful finish. This needs a few more years in the cellar or a long decant and the score will undou
