More reviews and scores
There are nearly 58,000 cases of the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot, 4% Tannat, 2% Petite Sirah and 2% Merlot, matured in 27% new French oak. Marked by hints of pencil shavings and dried herbs, it delivers enough cassis and black cherry fruit to be considered excellent. It's medium to full-bodied, with a velvety texture, yet is juicy and fresh as well, with a mouthwatering finish.
About the producer
Often confused with Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, Stags’ Leap Winery is another Stags Leap District estate. With a long history, its Petite Sirah has cult status among aficionados, although – like most Napa estates – it produces a range of Cabernet Sauvignon wines.
