Best from 2025 through 2045

Blends power and finesse with a deft hand and finishes very long and sappy

cassis and plum that exhibit interesting wisps of leather and smoke

The flavor profile is at once lush yet precise with lovely purity to the lightly mineral-inflected and subtly powerful finish that is beautifully well-balanced and persistent

Moderate reduction renders the nose unreadable today

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, S.L.V. other_regions Best from 2025 through 2045The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon S. L. V. is a paragon of elegance and finesse, yet doesn't cheat the taster on flavor. Dense ruby purple with round, juicy, earthy black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, underbrush and forest floor, the wine is fragrant, medium to full bodied, soft, seductive and round. This is a lovely, juicy, pure style of wine to drink over the next 10 15 years.
