Stags Leap Cabernets are traditionally described as “an iron fist in a velvet glove,” and that aptly applies to this wine. At first, it's seductively smooth, with lush blackberries, black currants and crème de cassis. Then the tannins attack, as well as a steely minerality, and you realize the wine wants some time in the cellar. Drink 2017–2023.
