One of my Fav's of ALL time — 11 years ago
First off. You have heard about decanting.... This is a great example. Open and it tastes flat, give it time to breath and the flavors come out. The nose has a nice oak, smokey texture. Taste has a predominant black cherry flavor with nice ripe fruit flavors. Oak remains throughout the taste from start to finish with american oak flavors. An almost cigar smokiness hits immediately with a slight spice....not sure where to compare this to because it's not like a Zinfandel pepper, but more like an allspice. The overall feel is medium bodied with rich cherry flavors and well balanced for a smooth feel. This is a great introduction to Stags Leap without spending $150. — 11 years ago

The Prisoner from Napa Valley is excellent--second time tasting, but first time with the bottle. Delicious both times. — 12 years ago
I love Stags Leap and this one is crazy reasonable and so good. Cherry flavored, soft on pallet. Beautiful wine. — 11 years ago
Star of the night. Needed more time to wake but full body super thick and sticky after taste — 12 years ago

Prune and cherry and slightly floral on the nose Well balanced and well rounded. Good mouth feel. Very long finish. Excellent. Drinking well. WIne Spectator says no time left on it - I think will be good for a few more years at least. — 10 years ago
