Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cask 23 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
The top Cabernet from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, the Cask 23 is their most limited wine. 100 Points Robert Parker: " The spectacular 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Cask 23 appears to be the finest Cask 23 since the glory years of the mid-eighties. It boasts a dense purple color, complex notes of spice box, Christmas fruitcake, blackcurrant jam, mulberries and spring flowers, as well as a full-bodied, opulent personality. It is a profound example of this iconic wine that went through a period of mediocrity in the mid- to late-1990s prior to being sold. Drink now-2038."

Wonderful wine. It had better be at its price, but paired with a nice steak it was a real treat.

Despite my pivot to European wine, still nice to enjoy this elegant, dark and dried fruits, some chocolate, spices, and pepper. Classic and classy California, 1976 style.

Strong bouquet, notes of leather, tobacco, vanilla, and dark fruit on the pallet. Long smooth finish

Wow. Sweet cherry blackberry and flowers on the nose. So smooth on the palate with a touch of the SLV graphite on the finish. Would probably get even better in a couple years of collaring.
