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

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

Probando verrsión 2010 del #1 del Wine Specator. Singular blend de Syrah y Petite Sirah del Stag Leap District de Napa. Tan bueno como el 2008. Se nota el "relentless pursuit of quality" de Shafer. — 11 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💪💃💃🎈👍😄 — 10 years ago
