Stag’s Leap Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

An exceptional blend of the famous Fay Estate and S.L.V. Estate, this wine dates back to the 1970s and is spectacular in this vintage. Juicy, bright and effusive, it offers a lightness of spice, well-integrated oak and a cohesive, silky texture. Structured, it shows dark-berry fruit, a hint of crushed rock and fig, expansive and joyful on the palate. This should age beautifully; enjoy best from 2028 through 2038. Cellar Selection. Score – 98. (Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, May 1, 2022)
