2005, Stag’s Leap, Cabernet Sauvignon – Napa, (restaurant)
I had the pleasure of attending a dinner at Delmonico’s Steakhouse Restaurant and was able to enjoy a bottle of this outstanding Cab. In a word, it is truly outstanding. If you enjoy big, rich, vibrant Napa cabs, this is one near the top of the list. It has a great aroma (nose) that continues from a full glass to empty. It has that splash of rich taste at the beginning of every sip with a consistent, smooth yet with a bit of pepper after taste. If you are a fan of Napa cabs, I can’t recommend this wine enough. For me, it is right up there with a 2003 Raymond or a 2004 Burgess.
