Product Description
AG100 The 2019 5500 offers up a mesmerizing range of Stags Leap aromatics that confer presence as well as depth. Lavender, spice, menthol, licorice, plum and crème de cassis lend sumptuous elegance to this striking, beautifully delineated Cabernet. Rich and seamless in the glass, the 5500 possesses mindblowing intensity married to a real feeling of finesse. It is quite possibly the finest wine I have ever tasted here. Dazzling.
JD99 Coming from a hillside vineyard in the Stags Leap District, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon 5500 is based on 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot, and there are a scant 330 cases produced. Reminding me of a First Growth Bordeaux with its currants, unsmoked tobacco, cedar pencil, and dried flower aromas and flavors, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a seamless, pure, elegant texture, ripe yet polished tannins, and an undeniable sense of minerality on the finish. As classy as they come, this gorgeous Cabernet has plenty of up-front appeal yet will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and cruise over the following 20-25 years.
JS99 This has terrific complexity with wet earth, bark, mushrooms, blackberries, and blackcurrants. Full-bodied with silky tannins that spread across the palate and then melt into the wine. Chewy and rich, yet so well tailored. 93% cabernet sauvignon and 7% merlot. This is very structured in a ultra-classical way. Please wait for five or six years to open.
