2016 Caterwaul Regusci Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District

(96-98 Points)  (Wine Advocate)

A barrel sample, the very deep purple-black colored 2016 “Regusci Vineyard” Cabernet Sauvignon Stag’s Leap District is profoundly scented of blueberry compote, black forest cake and licorice with hints of cedar chest, cloves, cinnamon stick and black soil. Full-bodied, rich and opulent in the mouth, the generous blue and black fruit flavors are well supported by plush tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy. If this wine lives up to its promise when bottled, it will be a knockout! (LPB)
