Black raspberries, plums, spring flowers, and chalky minerality all emerge from the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District, a pure, concentrated, full-bodied 2021 that has a fresher, focused mouthfeel, plenty of tannins, integrated acidity, and a great finish. It's a rich, concentrated, yet balanced 2021 that, like many in the vintage, is going to need bottle age to show its full potential.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District offers up a heady concoction of blackberry jam, graphite, menthol, licorice, plum, black cherry, chocolate and lavender. I would give the tannins a year or two to soften. This rich, full-throttle Cabernet Sauvignon is an exotic beauty.
