Product Description
AG96 "The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon S.L.V. is hedonistic and opulent in the glass. A rich, full-throttle wine, the 2010 captures all the flamboyance that was in vogue at the time. Dark-toned fruit, chocolate, spice and copious sweet new oak race across the palate. A late-season heat spike and the search for textural richness that marks the wines of this era are very much in evidence. Harvest took place from October 2 to 18, quite late by present day standards." AG for VM Aug 2026
RP94+ "The estate’s 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate SLV emerges from a parcel next to Fay, but here the terrain is much richer in stones and therefore traps the daytime heat to a far greater extent. Ash, smoke, slate, plums and blackberries are some of the many notes that burst from the glass. The SLV is a big, tannic wine, especially in this vintage. There is more than enough tension and sheer energy to allow for years of great drinking, once the wine softens a bit. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030." AG for TWA Dec 2012
Antonio Galloni for Vinous Media writes, "Fifty years ago, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon S.L.V. bested some of France’s best-known wines at an unassuming bling tasting. That tasting, chronicled as the Judgment of Paris, became a cultural phenomenon that changed the wine world. On the eve of the 50th anniversary of this momentous occasion, Vinous was thrilled to host a deep retrospective of the estate’s Cabernet Sauvignon S.L.V. Vineyard going back to the 1973."
