Incredible elegance married to youthful power. This was Marcus Nataro’s first effort at SLV...I think he’s figured out the Napa thing pretty well. — 6 years ago

An amazing look into Napa's yesteryear. Thanks Robin! Completely tertiary in nature, redolent of Xmas spices, and a perfect wind-down from the powerful wines of the evening, — 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

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

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

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

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
