A stunning expression of Stag’s Leap District Cabernet, showing captivating aromas of plum, black currant, violet, and thyme layered with subtle spice, mocha, and vanilla. The palate is dense yet refined, balancing rich dark fruit, cherry, and cocoa with vibrant acidity and fine-grained tannins. Silky, precise, and beautifully structured, it carries exceptional length and energy, finishing with lingering notes of floral spice and graphite—a spectacular reflection of site and vintage.
