It can be drunk young

layers of dark currants

coffee and incense

and its dense purple hue is accompanied by a sumptuous bouquet of sweet new oak

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, Napa Valley, Fay Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 Cider (JL) (6/2013)In 6 bottle Original Cartons. PROVENANCE: winery direct release from the Stag's Leap Wine Cellars library. 94 CellarTracker Decanted for 90 min, this was stunning. Supremely pure and focused blackcurrant with a sweet cassis edge to the fruit. Fine and elegant, but with a subtle power and minerality that gave this depth and complexity. Silky on the front palate, but with sooty tannins and solid backbone. I'd easily guess Pauillac instead of Napa. 1 31
