Score 96/100 · Drink 2024-2034, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2022

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Steltzner Vineyard is outrageously beautiful. Dark, vivid and sumptuous to the core, the Steltzner captures all the magic of this great Stags Leap vineyard. Crème de cassis, lavender, spice, mint and blueberry jam all come alive in the glass. This is one of the very finest wines I have ever tasted from Mike and Leah Smith. Don't miss it!

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Steltzner Vineyard comes from a corner block in this vineyard and offers a more black-fruited, chocolaty style that turns more floral and violet-tinged with time in the glass. More tobacco and crushed stone, full-bodied richness, good acidity, and ripe tannins all make for a brilliant, seamless, incredibly impressive wine that can be drunk today or cellared for 15+ years.

Produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Steltzner Vineyard is deep garnet-purple in color, delivering pronounced notes of stewed plums, boysenberry preserves and warm cassis, plus suggestions of fruitcake, tobacco leaf and charcuterie. Medium to full-bodied, the generous fruit is supported by chunky tannins and just enough freshness, finishing savory.

Coming from the cooler Stags Leap District in the valley, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Steltzner Vineyard has a gorgeous bouquet of blueberry and cassis fruits intermixed with notes of candied violets, orange peel, and graphite. It shows the tighter, more backward, yet elegant style of this appellation, but has wonderful mid-palate depth, full-bodied richness, and a great finish.
