Stags' Leap Winery The Leap Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

The Leap is always a beautiful representation of the distinctive personality of our estate vineyard and this 2021 vintage is truly exemplary. The nose presents aromas of crushed red berries, baking spice, and graphite, underpinned by a subtle hint of mocha. The palate is full-bodied with impressive concentration, offering a silky texture that envelops the senses. The tannins exhibit lovely grip and firmness, balanced by bright acidity and an inviting ripeness of fruit. The flavor profile is lively and high-toned, showcasing an elegant medley of red berry fruits, including red raspberries and red currants, complemented by hints of floral and sweet baking spices. The finish is perfumed with floral and musky notes, a nod to the oak influence, adding depth and complexity. Notes of vanilla toast, pepper spice, and a gentle warmth contribute to a long and satisfying impression. This wine beautifully balances richness and vibrancy, demonstrating the opulence and grace of the estate. The perfect vintage to age for many years to come!
