Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
A classic Stags Leap District Bordeaux-style blend built around Cabernet Sauvignon, showing cassis and black cherry fruit framed by cedary oak and a hint of graphite minerality. The naturally elegant tannins typical of the appellation keep the wine structured but approachable, while the Merlot and Cabernet Franc add roundness and subtle herbaceous lift. A reliable, food-friendly red that reflects the volcanic soils and warm afternoon sunshine of this benchland district.
