Stags' Leap Napa Valley 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon


 

Stags' Leap Napa Valley 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon, $42.49-$54.99, 93 points, poured core black trending crushed black currant toward the clear rim and leggy glass wall.
Cedar, clove, cinnamon, black cherry, roasted coffee notes, and a floral component made for a lovely bouquet.
Near full-bodied, moderately smooth texture, good acidity, firmly layered tannin, and flavors that mirrored the bouquet affords this Cabernet high marks from me if few others.
Finished long on black fruit, black pepper, and a well integrated 13.9% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my medium rare strip steak.
