Nose of; baked fruits, burnt ambers, black licorice anise, black currants and dry dark mixed florals. Nice to compare three vintages to see their evolution. Fruits are definitely leaner in a good way than the 13. They have not even come close to any sort of prune or fig stag, but show nice age. Fruits are; blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries, black plum, plum, green bean/snow pea, black cherry licorice, spices mellow nicely, tannins are smoother rounder and the acidity is very good. These are dark concentrated wines. This one is not a baby but just getting out of the infant stage. Photo is artwork of their brochure and one of their harvesters. 😜 — 8 years ago

Hard to reconcile their barossa at $20 and your 9.2 rating with the command at $90 only 2 points higher.....

With time, this wine will show you why it's worth the extra $. When the $20 bottle has faded, this one will still be excelling and reward the person who has patience with complexity, richness & elegance the $20 bottle will never know. The $20 bottle will drink well for another 3-5 years or so but by no means has this kind of pedigree!

Cask 23 Napa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

Eva Wu
9.5

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💪💃💃🎈👍😄 — 10 years ago

Road wine so ease off me please and I usually enjoy stag leap but last night so so

First off o smiled but because I drank entire bottle

Color was fine smell was aromatic but from there the other things were off

Taste was not what I expected as was too much heat and alcohol and finish was weak

Sadly I have a few and will be handing off as gifts to people I really don't know when needed - sorry to al future gift receivers

Regusci

Block 27 Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

This one got better the second day. 100% cab, nice fruit, nice stag leap flavor., but not my favorite Regusci for the price. I''m curious to see how some of the other vintages compare to the less than ideal conditions of 2011. — 9 years ago

Nicely resolved at this stag. Dark tart cherries, black plum, cranberries, cherry juice, juicy strawberries, reduced pomegranate, cooked rhubarb, super fine minerality & and chalk, wet pebbles, pink florals, acidity is right on with a nice elegant finish. If you have the 2001, it's a drink now and over the next 2-3 year at most. — 9 years ago

The 14 Pingus is exceptional from barrel at this point. It won't be bottled until next June or July. Out of barrel its shows elegance, amazing blue and soft black fruits. The black fruits are secondary at this stag. Soft spices, beautiful perfume and florals. — 10 years ago

R. López de Heredia

Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja Blanco Malvasia Viura 1981

Strong like bull. Bone broth, asparagus, citrus, and a hint of the open sea. Hope, perhaps, that the young stag who now drinks it, aged the same, may expect even greater pleasures ahead as well. — 10 years ago

If you could mix blackberry, blueberry, ollieberry, unripe rhubarb, dark cherry & raspberry liquor, dark chocolate and just a hint of smokey bramble this where the wine is at this stage. 5-7 years in the bottle seems to where the sweet spot is without graduating into date, fig and prune. Not that that stag is bad but it's just the other side of the bell curve. This is a great example of what the right producer in an Oregon climate can produce! Great stuff with BBQ or just about any grill meat. — 10 years ago
