The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap shows elegant bay leaf, red berry, and red currant notes, a dark ruby color, and hints of earth, lead pencil and spice. The wine is a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Merlot. It is a stylish, more finesse-styled Cabernet Sauvignon to drink during its first 10-15 years of life. Tel.
