I recently had the great pleasure of tasting the current releases of several of the Stag’s Leap wines. All a pleasure to be introduced to. They speak volumes to the care with which this vineyard and its winemaker tend to business. The Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon, of recent film fame, was amazing in the layers of bouquet and flavor that unfolded as I enjoyed it. There were several layers of aroma and an equal number of flavors; each announcing itself after the others. Imagine what this wine will taste like after a reasonable amount of time in the bottle!  The S.L.V. Cab was equally enjoyable, perhaps only overshadowed by reputation. We will soon have the Artemis Cabernet in the wine shop and I am sure you will find it delightful. Sadly, quantities are VERY limited even in this market. If you have interest, call for pricing and we can special order for only three days. Oh, and the Sauvignon Blanc and the Chardonnay were also a treat…both very different from their usual California cousins.
