Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Deep purple-black in color, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon S.L.V. explodes with profound black berry pie, crème de cassis and mulberries scents, plus hints of cumin seed, cardamom and clove oil and a touch of forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, it delivers a firm and grainy texture in the mouth, supporting the tightly knit black fruits, finishing savory. Tasted as a barrel sample. Drink date: 2023-2038. Score – 93-95.
