I likely mentioned in one or more of my posts that I really like the style of the 18 Napa vintage.
This Stag’s Leap was no different.
It had a beautiful body, excellent fruit, nice mid dark spice and soft earthiness. Good integration for a youngish Napa Cabernet. Well balanced, elegant and smartly polished finish that lasted 90 seconds.
Not worth $225 at the winery but you can find it for far less on the secondary markets.
93-94.
