Estimate
More cassis, violets, and flowers emerge... Medium to full-bodied and beautifully textured as well as balanced, it has remarkably polished, sweet tannins...
...dense, powerful wine. Black cherry, plum, graphite, incense, bittersweet chocolate, lavender and cloves infuse the 2017 with tons of complexity and Stags Leap character... This is just superb.
...comes charging out of the glass with cherry compote, baked plums, blueberry pie and licorice scents plus touches of underbrush and smoked meats. Full-bodied and concentrated, with a firm, chewy frame, it packs loads of baked black fruit into the mouth and has a lingering earthy finish.
