A 2023 Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon typically shows a polished mix of black cherry, cassis, and plum, with graphite, cocoa, vanilla, and baking spice adding depth. The best examples lean into the district’s signature balance of power and finesse, with firm but refined tannins and a long, juicy finish. It can feel a bit like a more structured, cooler-toned take on classic Napa Cab, with enough freshness to keep the fruit lively. This is a good choice for someone who likes Cabernet that is ripe but not heavy.
Serve it with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, or a mushroom tart.
