Stags' Leap Winery Estate The Leap Napa Cabernet 2021 Rated 96JS

James Suckling Review
Rated 96
Brooding aromas of blackberry compote, cassia bark, mulberries and tobacco leaves. The palate is full-bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity, giving flavors of mocha, blackcurrants, graphite and cedar. Very refined and polished, with underlying power. Drink or hold.

Wine Tasting Notes
Stags' Leap Winery Estate The Leap Napa Cabernet represents the distinctive personality of our estate vineyard and this fantastic vintage, showing layers of richness and intensity. The wine offers aromas and flavors of juicy blackcurrants, cassis, dark blackberry, and black cherry, with lifted notes of wild violet and savory chaparral herbs. Deep and generous with full-bodied elegance and structure, it is vibrant, viscous, and brooding, with mouth-enveloping texture and balance. Notes of graphite, espresso, dark chocolate, and black licorice come through on the lengthy finish with silky, mouthcoating tannins, and freshness. Beautiful upon release, while certain to age impeccably.

90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petite Sirah, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec
