Stags' Leap Winery Cabernet Sauvignon The Leap 2019

Aromas of blackcurrants, black licorice, thyme and violets. Full-bodied with silky, taught tannins. Juicy and vibrant on the palate with well-balanced acidity. Berry flavors. Great tension here. This has a lovely life ahead of it. Best after 2026.

Another terrific wine from this team is the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Leap, a red and blue-fruited, medium to full-bodied, elegant Cabernet Sauvignon. It has nicely integrated background oak, some classic Cabernet herbal, earthy, floral nuances, fine tannins, and outstanding length.

The full-bodied 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Leap Estate Grown includes 5% Petite Sirah, 4% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec. Gentle herbal notes suggestive of thyme accent cassis and blackberries on the nose, while the finish is marked by crispness, with mouthwatering acids and dusty tannins. It should be reasonably long-lived.
