Насыщенный вишнёвый цвет. Развитая сладковатая ароматика: земляничное варенье, "вишня в коньяке", лавровый лист, сладкий мак, мёд в сотах. Полное тело, во вкусе черешня с плодоножками, сухое мясо, горький шоколад, сладкий трубочный табак. Алкоголь аккуратно спрятан. Все ещё молодо, с зеленоватыми, сушащими танинами. 17+/20 — 7 years ago
Plums, boysenberries, blueberries and baking spices on the nose. Tannins are nicely resolved and will continue to evolve nicely for another 5-8 years. Fruits are ripe; blackberries, black cherries, boysenberries, blueberries, cherries, stewed strawberries. Lots of melted milk chocolate, light baking spices; light vanilla & cinnamon w/ a whiff of clove, spice-box, soft leather, grilled meats, burnt ambers, saw dust, brown volcanic soil with crushed rocks, dry red flowers, violets, sound acidity w/ a nice elegant but a leaner style finish. Not convinced this wine will get much better going forward but it will certainly evolve and hold a nice drinking stage for another 5 years or so. Decanter for 1 & 1/2 hours. Interesting this wine puts on weight as it sits in the decanter. 💪 — 7 years ago
Solid baby brother to the Fay and SlV, but Cask 23 is still top dog in this litter. Offers deep, ripe fruit and satisfying oaky vanilla. — 8 years ago

Super tannic at first with a lot of fruit. Over an hour it mellowed a bit and some acidity started to come out and balance things out. If you like fruity Napa cab with lots of tannin this is for you. — 8 years ago
I remember 1st time reading the wine note , I 'm confused by all these words such as linden flower ,gooseberry,genet,locust.... Growing up in Asia,I am not familiar with so many fruits or woods I 've never seen in supermarket, I thought a wine note should be able to reduce the complexity of the tasting of wine , not the other way around. I could not find a way to resolve this till I meet this wine. When I taste cask23 , after a sip of of FAY, another sip of S.L.V and sips of some white, I felt like finally I meet the goddess. If FAY is a fair lady, SLV is a leaping stag or elf, Cask 23 is the godness. I could not find a other word to describe this wine characteristics overall , not by naming it after fruits, the complexity, elegancy, as well as amazing glimpse, everything makes her a prefect lady. A real goddess beats Old world wine in 1976 XD💪💃💃🎈👍😄 — 9 years ago

F1, from Fay vineyard. Marc Mondavi signed it for many years ago — 11 years ago
This is one of my favorite Stag's Leap Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. It's better than the Artemis and slightly less full-bodied than the Cask 23. It's medium to full bodied, with a complex bouquet of blueberries, currant, cedar wood, and a sense of expansive after-taste. It's balanced and well positioned, totally harmony. I love it. I hope you can still find this vintage in the market. — 7 years ago

Beautiful dark purple color with long legs. Subtle nose of dark fruits and cherry. Medium bodied tannins and hint of SLV minerals on near perfectly balanced palate. Finish is wonderful. Great bottle of wine. Cab and Petit Verdot blend. Not sure why Delectable is calling it Merlot. — 6 years ago
