Score 94/100 · James Suckling, Oct 2019

Aromas of blackcurrants, blueberries and oyster shells follow to a full body and round, chewy tannins. Flavorful finish. Cabernet sauvignon. Needs two or three years to come together.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Soul Fire boasts tremendous aromatic intensity and sumptuousness. Inky dark fruit, crème de cassis, menthol, licorice and spice jump from the glass. Exuberant, deep and beautifully layered, the Soul Fire is a fabulous expression of Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon.

A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, 1% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Soul Fire Rock Block is deep garnet-purple colored and offers up notions of cassis, black cherries, mulberries and cedar chest with hints of pencil lead and bay leaves. Full-bodied and firmly textured with grainy tannins, it has just enough freshness lifting the generous fruit to a long earth-laced finish.
