Hillside Select Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon


Wow pop and pour. Never would guess this is a 2011. Blue fruit that is so smooth and mouth coating. Stellar!!

Harmonious bouquet of dark, brooding fruit and balanced structure, combined with silky smooth tannins and rewarding finish. Always one of the top Napa Cabs.

Sweet, ripe and concentrated with expresso and dark currant overtones. A bit angular and lacking the depth and round finish of exemplary examples of HSS...not sure if that is attributable to the vintage or its relative youth. I suspect it's a bit of both. A very nice wine just not in typical HSS kick ass mode.
