Tasting notes
The 2018 “Regusci Vineyard” Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with vibrant scents of baked blackberries and stewed plums, leading to cassis and pencil shavings notions at the core, plus emerging tar and roses wafts. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is bursting with bright, crunchy black fruits, supported by soft tannins and a refreshing line, finishing long and with seriously earthy layers. 250 cases were made.

Coming from the Stags Leap region, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Regusci Vineyard has a deep, opaque purple color as well as a gorgeous perfume of cassis and black raspberry fruits intermixed with ample dark chocolate, Christmas spice, candied violets, and flowery incense. This rich, powerful Stags Leap Cabernet has full-bodied richness, wonderful purity of fruit, and a concentrated yet also lively, juicy style that stays light and weightless on the palate. Drink bottles over the coming 15-20 years.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Regusci Vineyard is a powerful, dense wine. Inky dark fruit, crème de cassis, chocolate, spice, licorice and lavender infuse the 2018 with tons of richness. Tasted next to the Cemetery, the Regusci is a bit more overt and opulent in style, with ripeness pushed to the max. The 2018 turns up the dial on everything; fruit intensity, acid and tannin. It is a decidedly flamboyant Cabernet from this historic Stags Leap property.
