2023 Thread Feathers Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District, Napa Valley
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 93+ Points
While delivering Stags Leap’s signature undercurrent of milk chocolate, this wine also offers forthcoming aromas of red currant, bottled red cherry, violet, rose, sweet tobacco and baking spice along with a suggestion of raspberry cream sickle, this is already a charming Cabernet. It is rich yet elegantly polished on the palate, where tannins and youthful zest bring a note of reserve to flavors that are a faithful mirroring of the nose. The finish is supple, dinner worthy and lingering. Expect another twelve to twenty-four years of steady improvement.
