Cavus Cabernet Sauvignon Stag’s Leap 2010
The glass explodes with a bowl full of ripe red cherry and jammy red and black fruit. The the palate is loaded with red and black currant, creme de cassis, graphite, and mixed red fruits on the finish. Simply gorgeous now, it should cellar beautifully for the next 10 years. 95 points.
