2010 was another outstanding vintage in Napa Valley. This Stags Leap District Cabernet is a perfect representation of the high quality juice produced throughout the Valley that year. The wine’s lush balanced structure easily supports its blackberry and creamy toasted oak flavors, while the velvety finish keeps me reaching for another sip. This $70 beauty will […]

This Cabernet based wine has healthy doses of Merlot and Syrah added in to round out the tannins and augment the jammy berry flavors. This 10 year old wine was still oozing these youthful blackberry and blueberry fruits […]
