Stags' Leap Winery Description
The Leap Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of the most expressive barrels from select blocks of our century old, 240-acre estate. These blocks produce a long-lived wine that exemplifies both richness and elegance and speaks to the unique terroir of the Stags Leap District.
Decanter: 94 Points
Fragrant dried thyme and mulberry notes with red liquorice, toasted coconut and iron shavings. Full-bodied with a real purity of blackberry fruit and mixed-berry compote. A dusty tannin backbone and a long mineral finish underscore the satiny fruit profile.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
This winery's flagship, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon The Leap Estate Grown features aromas of cassis, mocha and cherries. From vines averaging 30 years of age and matured in 65% new French oak, the wine is medium to full-bodied and rather taut in feel, then a bit chalky and astringent on the heavily tannic finish. It needs some time, yet does it have the requisite depth and richness to age more than a decade?
