Stags' Leap Winery Estate The Leap Napa Cabernet 2019 Rated 96JS

James Suckling Review
Rated 96
Aromas of blackcurrants, black licorice, thyme and violets. Full-bodied with silky, taught tannins. Juicy and vibrant on the palate with well-balanced acidity. Berry flavors. Great tension here. This has a lovely life ahead of it. Best after 2026.

Wine Tasting Notes
Stags' Leap Winery Estate The Leap Napa Cabernet represents the distinctive personality of our estate vineyard and this fantastic vintage, showing layers of richness and intensity. The wine offers aromas and flavors of juicy blackcurrants, cassis, dark blackberry, and black cherry, with lifted notes of wild violet and savory chaparral herbs. Deep and generous with full-bodied elegance and structure, it is vibrant, viscous, and brooding, with mouth-enveloping texture and balance. Notes of graphite, espresso, dark chocolate, and black licorice come through on the lengthy finish with silky, mouthcoating tannins, and freshness. Beautiful upon release, while certain to age impeccably.
