Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon is the sublime meeting of the absolute best lots from the Stag's Leap Vineyard and the Fay Vineyard. The soaring, jubilant fruit character of Fay greets the nose, and is also evident in the mouth: providing succulence and opulence of texture. S.L.V.'s contribution is evident in the deep, dark, concentrated fruit and savoury notes in the background, as well as the tightly-wound, concentrated structure. Even more than the two single-vineyard wines, this is a wine that demands cellaring. With age, it is simply awesome.

Press Review
96-98/100 - The deep purple-black colored barrel sample of 2016 Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon features compelling, youthful notes of freshly crushed red and black currants, black cherries, kirsch and mocha with nuances of Marmite toast, roasted nuts, underbrush and truffles. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a very firm frame of super ripe tannins supporting the multilayered flavors, finishing on an epically long, lingering fragrant earth note. Beautiful.
Press Review
95/100 - The grapes for this wine come from Stag’s Leap’s two esteemed estate vineyards, with 56% of the fruit sourced from Fay and 44% from SLV. Deriving perfumed notes from Fay and structural backbone from the SLV, the wine was then matured in new French oak for 20 months.Stephen Brook - Delicate and floral, oaky nose, has charm and lift. Svelte and rounded, a touch soft and lacking in verve and acidity. Forward, but has some spice to pep up the finish. Yet it lacks drive and energy, staying power. James Doidge - Opaque purple colour, floral and intense aromas, very soft tannins with lush fruit, lithe acidity, lovely texture, great length.Ronan Sayburn MS - Espresso coffee and rosemary nose, densely concentrated fruit.
