S.L.V. 2022

100% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 20 months in 100% new French oak. Also known as Stag’s Leap Vineyards, this was the winery’s first vineyard. Juicy blackberry and cherry fruit mingle with violets and currant jelly, with sweet spices carrying through on the attack. Silky tannins, though well-integrated, provide a solid foundation, building with good tension. Juicy blood orange acidity frames the lengthy, saline-mineral finish, adding vibrancy and freshness to this structured yet elegant expression.
