The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Clos Du Val Vineyard, aged 21 months in French oak (70% new). Deep ruby/purple-hued, it has a gorgeous nose of cassis, darker, almost blue fruits, classy oak, violets, and floral nuances. It's medium to full-bodied with ultra-pure fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a superb finish. This wine shows the incredibly impressive style of the vintage and will shine for two decades, not as a blockbuster, but for its balance, purity, and grace. Drink 2025-2045. ~ 95 Jeb Dunnuck
Black cherries and plums, layered with oak spices are carried by fine grained tannins and pert acidity through a long, brooding finish. Full-bodied and full of flavor. ~93 Wine Enthusiast
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District is a pretty, savory wine with tons of site character. Black cherry, plum, licorice, dried herbs, sage, menthol and incense open nicely with some coaxing. There's good depth and complexity in this Cabernet from Clos du Val's Hirondelle Estate. ~92 Vinous Media
