Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, S.L.V. Vintage:2017 intense and intensely mineral-driven flavors

intense and intensely mineral-driven flavors possess excellent delineation in the context of the vintage before concluding in a powerful yet refined

There is once again excellent mid-palate concentration to the much more mineral-driven flavors that possess first-rate complexity on the wonderfully long and balanced if markedly austere finale

In the same vein

It will age majestically

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, S.L.V. Vintage:2017 intense and intensely mineral-driven flavorsThe 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon S. L. V. is a paragon of elegance and finesse, yet doesn't cheat the taster on flavor. Dense ruby purple with round, juicy, earthy black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, underbrush and forest floor, the wine is fragrant, medium to full bodied, soft, seductive and round. This is a lovely, juicy, pure style of wine to drink over the next 10 15 years.
