Winemaker Notes

100 Points | SJ

“Awe-inspiring, with dramatically structured tannins. Blueberry and pomegranate are intense and showy. The wine’s opulence is matched by its textural seduction of soft suede, but also by its grip. Dry and dusty on the finish, exhibiting violets and bittersweet dark chocolate.” - Somm Journal

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Tomahawk Vineyard is slightly brighter and more perfumed than the Ganymede, offering a brilliant array of crème de cassis and black raspberries as well as spicy oak, graphite, and spring flower notes. It has classic Stags Leap vibrancy and complexity, is medium to full-bodied, and has plenty of polished tannins as well as a great finish. It deserves 4-6 years in the cellar, and I suspect this will be very long-lived. It's a gorgeous wine that shows the style of the vintage to a T.
