Quoting a price of $110, Jeb writes that this will "compete with wines two to three times the price." At twenty bucks LESS than his quoted price, this one falls in the sweet spot of premium Napa Valley Cabernet.
(12/26/2023) "The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District is based on 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Merlot, and minuscule percentages of Petit Verdot and Malbec that's all from estate fruit in the Stags Leap District. It offers a pure, medium to full-bodied, incredibly elegant style as well as tons of minerality in its red and black fruits, ripe, building tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and just a kiss of background oak. I love the overall style of this beauty, which will compete with wines two to three times the price. Maturity 2026 - 2041."
