Stags' Leap Winery 2003 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon


Stag's Leap Winery is located in the heart of Stags' Leap District, Napa Valley, on a 240 acre estate. Founded in 1893 it has a rich history. Read more about it at the winery's web site.

The grapes for Stags' Leap 2003 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was handpicked and fermented in small lots in a combination of open and closed top frementers. During frementation it received frequent punch downs. Thereafter it was aged in 50% new and 50% used French oak for 24 months. 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Merlot was added for structure and depth.

In the glass this wine has a dark, dense ruby color.
The nose is heavy and earthy with dark plum, cherry, and coffee. Notes of cloves and vanilla enters at the end.
The palate displays dusty fruit of plum, dark cherry, and black currant, with earth, spice and a hint of coffee. The tannins are course and firm in moderate amount, and the acidity plentiful.

This wine showed the heavy and earthy qualities Cabernet Sauvignon can display. We enjoyed it although I would give this wine some time in the bottle as I believe the tannins will become more integrated and mellow out with age, and the fruit become more elegant and structured.
You can find it at WallyWine.com for $44.99.
