95 Pts 2021 Stagecoach Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

2021 Stagecoach Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley

James Suckling, May 30, 2024

Very firm and structured but also very generous, almost juicy, with black cherries, red cherries, blackberries and mint. Selected from individual bloacks across the large, rocky hilltop vineyard. The tannins are dense but soft, so this full-bodied, massive wine is also drinkable. Drink now or hold.

Planted with 600 acres of vines on ancient volcanic terrain in the rugged Vaca Mountains, Stagecoach Vineyard is the largest contiguous vineyard in Napa Valley and is revered for its powerful, complex fruit and bold tannins. This exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced entirely from Stagecoach, and boasts aromas of strawberry compote, crème de cassis, pie crust, ripe black cherry
and cola. Notes of boysenberry, raspberry leaf, earth, black tea, hazelnut and turbinado sugar alight on the palate. The opulent and rich body and chewy tannins, that are emblematic of this iconic vineyard, lead to a smooth and persistent finish.
