The quintessential expression of an elegant Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Poetry (86% Cabernet Sauvignon) combines elegance with power. Layered and full-bodied with an ethereal lightness as well as touches of oak and tannin, it is gorgeously pure and textured yet strikingly long and intense. Bursting with flavor, but neither heavy nor cloying, give it 3-4 years of cellaring, and enjoy it over the next 25+ years.

Bright ruby-red. Sweet black raspberry, violet and rose petal aromas are complemented by deeper-pitched notes of chocolate and earth plus a sexy sweetening influence of oak. Plush, thick and fine-grained but not heavy; a compellingly dense, full wine with clear elements of Stags Leap District earth, mocha and brown spices. A wonderfully opulent, compellingly sweet wine with a long finish featuring big, ripe, dusty tannins and excellent length. This wine will yet improve and gain in clarity as it absorbs more of its baby fat.

The Stags Leap escarpment forms a near vertical wall on the eastern side of the Napa Valley. This estate vineyard rises from 200 to 400 feet on steep terraces, the vines between four and 15 years old. It produced a 2007 with majestic power, a wine that carries the dark and supple tannin richness these west-facing hills have made famous. Combine that chocolate layer cake of tannin with fresh herbs and black fruit and you arrive at the cool balance this Cabernet has achieved. Bottle age should only encourage the textural bliss.
