Score 97/100 · Drink 2020-2040, Jeb Dunnuck, Jan 2020

Coming from a tiny appellation in the heart of Napa Valley, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District reveals a saturated purple/ruby color to go with a ripe, incredibly sexy bouquet of blueberries, blackcurrants, ripe tobacco, loamy earth, and dark chocolate. More spice and floral notes emerge with time in the glass, and it offers full-bodied richness and depth, sweet tannins, awesome purity of fruit, and a great finish. This is a brilliant Cabernet from Stags Leap that's already accessible yet will evolve for two decades.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap is rich, layered and super-expressive. Dark cherry, plum, spice, leather and chocolate all develop in this attractive mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon. Best of all, the 2016 can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring. (AG)

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District offers up expressive scents of baked black cherries, warm mulberries, cassis and wild blueberries with touches of garrigue, wild sage and tilled soil. Full-bodied, the palate has a firm structure of grainy tannins and lively freshness lifting the densely laden black fruits to a long, herb-lifted finish.
