Such an elegant expression of Stag’s Leap. With a deep, inky hue, the wine offers aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and violets, intertwined with a hint of graphite and sweet tobacco. The palate is marked by exceptional balance, displaying an interplay between the wine’s velvety tannins and bright acidity. This vintage’s hallmark is its refined structure and focus, with layers of dark fruit, baking spices, and a touch of minerality. The finish is long and strong, promising excellent aging potential.
